Personal info:

Karl Krukow works as a software pilot at Trifork. He is also co-founder of LessPainful, a new start-up providing cloud-based automated testing of Android and iOS native applications. He graduated as a PhD student from University of Aarhus in 2006 with a thesis that was mostly theoretical computer science, but got bored of not affecting the "real world" and decided to go into industry!

He has worked with web technologies (particularly JavaScript) for more than 5 years, consulting, teaching and programming, and has extensive experience with the Ext JS JavaScript framework. His current professional passion is the LessPainful start-up and using the Clojure programming language due to its "immense depth, beauty and it making a significant contribution to simplifying programming - all while remaining practical." Karl has started started a number of open source projects (like clj-ds and stomple) and often writes technical articles about JavaScript, Clojure and Ruby on his blog, http://blog.higher-order.net.
