This is my personal homepage. I spend most days in Copenhagen1620Denmark where I live with my family and make a living designing government it-solutions.

The primary function of this page is to provide a stable online presence and serve as a point of contact. The email I read most often is madsh@me.com.

Maybe one day here will be a blog. Possibly called ‘What If…?’ and chronic ideas of things in public digitization that could be, and the reasons why they aren’t.
