About me

My name is Daniel Aldemir. For 25 years I have run and grown Direkten Ryd into one of Sweden's leading service stores, with the customer at the centre and a digital strategy that made us Digital Agent of the Year. Now I am changing track and building software, bringing everything I have learned about business, responsibility and getting things done into the role of a software developer.

IoT platform

A production-grade, multi-tenant platform for real-time monitoring and control of connected devices that detect leaks and moisture and can shut off the water in time.

An unusual background

“A clear digital strategy has made this store successful, not least when it comes to shared play. Through a skilled and appreciated presence on social media, it offers its customers a broad range of share-based games in different price ranges. It also donates part of its share-play fees to the Swedish Childhood Cancer Fund.”
