About me

My name is Magnus Thyselius

and I'm 37 years old, from Gothenburg, Sweden. This is a space where I showcase my work and knowledge I've picked up along the way. Combining my passion for IT and learning has been a continuous thread throughout my life and career. With my long background in IT and my educational training as a preschool teacher, I have understood the power of using technology to promote learning and development. My burning interest in IT and digitalization was born in childhood, where my siblings and I competed to understand and master the rapidly growing world of technology. My journey in IT began with self-taught knowledge and experience from working in IT support and network technology, which over the years has deepened my skills in areas such as Exchange, Active Directory, and network technology. At the same time, I developed my educational competence by helping people solve technical problems while also teaching them how and why things work as they do. During my time as an IT manager at a company in Uppsala, I led several projects focused on integrating technology into the learning environment and promoting digital competence among employees. I have seen changes create opportunities and open doors to new ways of learning and growing. This experience has inspired me to continue exploring and developing new methods and tools to enhance learning through technology. My most recent role as IT manager at a fashion company allowed me to work on digitalizing the business and creating an efficient and innovative work environment. I saw how technology could improve both work processes and customer experiences, further strengthening my conviction about the power of combining IT and learning. My pedagogical competence continued to grow through my education and work as a preschool teacher. During my studies in the preschool teacher program, I wrote my bachelor thesis as a systematic literature review trying to get a better understanding on how digital tools can support children in learning.
