Benjamin Sandén
Founder
I’m an AI engineer and a dad, but I didn’t start out in tech at all. I spent years in restaurants and playing records as a DJ, and when I decided I wanted a career in IT, I had no degree to show anyone. I kept at it on my own, every day, until someone was willing to take a chance on me.
It took a couple of years. Today I’m an AI engineer at Region Halland, where I’m part of the team that built the AI portal that people across the region use at work, and in 2025 that team won the region’s Innovation of the Year award.
I started Mellovy because I want my kids to grow up in a better world, one where we spend our brains on what moves us forward instead of on pointless crap. I’m taking it to the whole world. Doubt isn’t part of the plan, because you only fail if you give up, and I don’t.
