Things about me and the world around us

About me and this site

So, my name is Pelle Wessman, but people might know me as VoxPelli on the web. I'm a swedish guy that currently lives in Malmö in southern Sweden, less than half an hour away from the danish capital of Copenhagen.

I'm right now studying work and organizational psychology as well as practical philosophy, basically moral and political philosophy, at Lund University.

Prior to that, between the autumn of 2010 and summer of 2012, I worked for the micro-payment startup Flattr - first part time but in the spring of 2011 I quit my old job at the web agency Good Old to go almost full time at Flattr. I worked there as a web developer, focusing mostly on the frontend parts.

During my time at Good Old I was part of building many Drupal and WordPress sites - both large and small. I also got the opportunity to contribute back to the Drupal community - posting issues, patches and our own modules. Those projects are stille alive, but I'm no longer a very active contributor to the Drupal community.

Prior to working at Good Old I was freelancing as a web developer from my home town Eslöv, helping designers turn their ideas into real web sites. I was also active in the local youth scene organizing concerts, festivals etc. during that time and prior to all of that I spent time helping build the community site of SvenskaMagic - that's where my web career kind of started.

Elsewhere

Besides this site you can find me at many other places around the web - often by the nickname of VoxPelli. Here's some of my favorite ones:

Thanks to…

Icon Drawer for the nice Swedish flag icon that notifies people of posts in a dangerous nordic language. Also thanks to Tom Preston-Werner for Jekyll, the tool that generates this site, and him and the rest of the GitHub team for GitHub Pages, which hosts this site.
