About / CV

MeJon Kågström, I was born in Byske, Sweden 1977. In the fall of 1997 I moved to Sundsvall to embark my university studies in Computer Science. By 2001 I had completed most of my courses but I did not find any motivating subject for my Thesis so I decided to postpone it. During my studies I spent most of my spare time to develop interesting software. Out of curiosity I published the creations on the Internet and it turned out that people were actually using it. So in 1998 I started a company which I have been working with since. My enthusiasm and fascination for Artificial Intelligence increased over the years and my choice of Thesis was by the end of 2004 simple.
