About us

We are Codiax

Codiax is a company specialising in open source, embedded Linux, cyber security, and real-time. We deliver ready-made solutions, consulting services and courses focused on the development of embedded systems and carry out projects both at our customers' sites and at our own premises in Kista. We are customer-oriented experts and always try to be a supplier we would want to hire ourselves.

Our expertise ranges from low-level BSP development, build environments, real-time analysis and real-time customisations, to licence and CVE management and long-term maintenance of open source-based systems. Demand for our solutions and services is high and although we mainly work in Sweden, we also provide courses abroad. Our regular customers range from world-leading Linux vendors to local Medtech companies.

Meet some of our staff

Anders Törnqvist

Founder and CEO

Anders is CEO and co-founder but still works very hands-on in our customer projects. With a background as owner and CEO of the Linux consultancy QiValue, which later became part of Enea, Anders is one of those who has been in the industry the longest. Despite this, Anders holds on to his vanilla Emacs (Ctrl-k, Ctrl-y), but he does it well! Linux Mint.

Erland Hedman

Linux consultant

Erland is Codiax's nestor and an experienced developer of the Linux kernel and drivers. He takes care of many of our security analyses and likes to develop in C. Half the year he lives on his sailboat, which is equipped with a largely self-developed navigation system based on Raspberry Pi. Linux Mint/WSL.

Esa Sorsa

Linux consultant

Esa has been Codiax's outpost on the Östgöta plain for a few years. He mainly takes care of low-level problems with U-Boot and the Linux kernel, but also contributes to various Yocto sets. He is an old Atari hacker who does not hesitate to build his own hardware. He develops in Vim on Linux Mint.

Johan meck Eklund

Linux consultant

Johan was the sound engineer who moonlighted as a Linux specialist, but nowadays it's quite the opposite. With a very large technical breadth, Johan is the consultant who takes care of all possible tricky assignments and always solves them a little faster than expected. Favourite language is Haskell(!), editor Neovim and distro is NixOS.

Jonas Hofmann

Linux consultant

Jonas is a Linux and Amiga enthusiast who has built Yocto-based Linux distros for automotive, Medtech and heat pumps. He prefers to program Python in his well-optimised Neovim environment. Jonas has been with Codiax since 2019 and is the one we go to when we want a hardware overhaul or need to solder something small. Debian.

Markus Svedenheim

Student

Despite his young age (born in 2004), Markus is a developer who has mastered most things. He left his elite skiing career early on to instead sit in his boys' room in front of the computer. Good for us. During a recent study break, Markus took our CI environment to new heights and restructured the first version of Atlas to what it is today. Arch Linux.

Mats Bilock

Linux consultant

Mats is becoming one of our most experienced Yocto consultants, working diligently on upgrades to newer versions of Yocto for clients. With a background as a network technician, he knows most things when it comes to communication. As a father of two little ones, Mats has also become a bit of an office organiser. Linux Mint.

Ola Redell

Founder and COO

Ola founded Codiax with Anders in 2015 and has since then built Linux for Medtech, cameras, home automation, industrial robots, heat pumps and more. Nowadays, Ola spends most of his time on customer relations and internal projects. When he's not working (in Doom Emacs), he enjoys cycling and family life. Linux Mint.

Ramón Nordin Rodriguez

Linux and Cybersecurity Consultant

Ramón is the latest addition to Codiax. After talking about it on and off for years, we finally have the opportunity to work together. Ramón will be our spearhead in cyber security but has a lot to contribute in most areas, not least Yocto and general application development. Another Neovimer. Arch Linux.

Stanislav Simic

Linux consultant

Stanislav has been with Codiax for a long time and has extensive experience in both automotive and Medtech. He specialises in hardware related programming, board bringup with various RTOS alongside Linux, and application development in C/C++. Stanislav is very well educated and often has great facts to share, almost regardless of the topic. Ubuntu.
