He wrote the first lines of code at Einride and stayed until the Nasdaq bell rang.
Now founding engineer Tomas Ohlson is leaving the electric freight company to build something new, at the intersection of AI and energy.
The stealth startup has already raised some funding.
"The chance to solve this particular problem with these particular people was what finally made the itch in my fingers too strong to ignore," Ohlson tells Impact Loop.

Tomas Ohlson rang the Nasdaq opening bell with the rest of Einride's leadership in June, when the company IPO’d at a $1.35bn valuation. A few weeks later, he announced he was leaving.
Ohlson posted the news on LinkedIn this week, ending a nine-year run at the Swedish freight technology company that started when he wrote its first lines of code. In that time, he watched the company grow from a handful of people to more than 400 employees.
