Why Media & Publishing?

A significant part of my work has been developing systems for the publishing industry. I built Proboox in collaboration with Danish publishing houses—a CMS that at its peak served 5 houses simultaneously, each with their own unique workflows.

Through that experience, I've learned how media companies need technology that adapts to their processes: editorial workflows, rights management, royalty calculations, author relationships. It's complex work, and I enjoy it.

The other half of my time went into building Teamioo—collaboration tools, task management, real-time communication. Different domain, same focus: building systems people actually use every day.
