EARLY CAREER HISTORY 5 years of having my own multimedia agency besides high school and university studies. Founded Swantesson Interactive 2009.
After having developed my first simple game on Commodore VIC 20 at the age of 11, I knew I wanted to continue do graphical development. This was followed by creating action games on C64 and a word processor for Commodore PET. On the Commodore Amiga I was active in the demo scene, then coded and designed a commercial game for children learning how to read and write. This was also ported to MS DOS. I created my first web page when pre-Netscape's Mosaic was hot in 1994.
