Black Koi helps software teams and the people who lead them strengthen the craft of testing and quality engineering — making assumptions, risks and trade-offs visible, so quality becomes a deliberate judgement about value, not a set of boxes to check.

For the leaders who shape quality.
For engineering leaders who want fast, informed releases. Black Koi makes the risk, cost, and value shaping your delivery visible, then works alongside you and your teams to change how quality decisions get made. The tools and methods come from two decades of practice; the change comes from doing the work together.
Start a conversation →For engineering leaders and the people around them — test leads, engineers, managers. Black Koi coaches and mentors, one-on-one or in teams, to help people think, decide, and lead more clearly. Coaching opens the thinking; mentoring anchors it in the craft — testing or leadership, where the work gets closer to training. Grounded in two decades of practice.
Start a conversation →For engineering leaders building or reshaping a testing function. Black Koi helps you define what good testing looks like in your context, assess the skills you have, find the people you need, and decide how to organise them — inside teams, as a dedicated function, or something in between. Grounded in seven years building a twenty-person testing organisation from scratch, plus hiring and organisational work across several global companies.
Start a conversation →For engineering leaders who want their team to level up in the craft of testing. All testing is exploratory at heart; the confirmatory part — the binary checks — is one layer of the work, not the whole. Black Koi designs and delivers bespoke workshops — on-site or online, a single day or several — built around your team's context and current level. Every session starts from what your team actually needs and ends with practice they can bring back to the work.

II · About
I've worked in software development since 2000. I'm a generalist with deep roots in quality engineering and context-driven software testing, and I naturally see both the system and the people in it.
I bring a holistic perspective on quality and product development. I coach and mentor teams, challenge assumptions, and work hands-on with strategy, testing, and delivery. I don't just point out problems — I help solve them.
For me, quality is about creating the right conditions for good work: clear feedback loops, useful tools, and shared understanding in context. When those pieces come together, outcomes improve — and so does well-being.
I don't fit neatly into one box, and I'm comfortable with that. I move between strategy and execution, technical detail and big-picture thinking, and the gluework that helps teams move forward.
I care about improvement when it is meaningful, grounded in context, and creates real value.
Based in Malmö. Working in Swedish and English.
