Björn Sahlström
Senior Developer
Working at Avance Metering since 2006
Office: Norrköping
Tell us about your role and what a working day might look like?
I work mainly as a developer, but I am also involved in architecture and design issues for our software, mainly when it comes to integrations and various parts of our core code.
What challenges do you see working as a developer?
As the market evolves we face new problems all the time, but fortunately I've always enjoyed problem solving.
How do you contribute to the success of Avance Metering?
With a deep knowledge of our various applications and our code base.
What do you think distinguishes Avance Metering as a company?
Extensive industry knowledge, dedicated employees and good humour.
Tell us about a successful project you are working on right now?
Right now I'm working on a project for Göteborg Energi together with Kamstrup which is a lot of fun.
The energy industry is complex and there are many competing solutions, how do we add value and contribute to our customers' success?
As I have mentioned yearlier, long industry experience and dedicated employees.
I've always enjoyed fishing and being out in nature in general, although I'll admit it's become less of a priority lately. Travelling is another thing I enjoy a great deal.
Can you tell us about a place worth visiting in your area?
Walking around the urban landscape of Norrköping with the waters and streams of Motalastrom is definitely worth a visit. I would also recommend a visit to the museum of work in the middle of the industrial landscape. A walk around Bråviken is not a bad idea either.
