About Axel
Product Manager & Developer
I'm a Product Manager & Developer based in Sweden and the proud dad of a three-year-old son. ABC4Kids started as a small home project to give my son something playful and screen-respectful for learning letters and numbers. I build and maintain it myself — free, ad-free, with no analytics and no plans to ever charge for it.
