About
Two decades of building systems, scaling teams, and solving hard technical problems.
From scaling Rocket Internet's Porto hub to deploying infrastructure for national registries.
I started building for the web over 20 years ago. Since then, I've led engineering at a Rocket Internet venture — growing a development center from zero to 130 engineers in four months. I've served as Head of Technology for a venture-backed startup. I've deployed Kubernetes clusters and cloud-native infrastructure for the Swedish Internet Foundation, the organization responsible for Sweden's .se domain.
Along the way, I founded Lookatitude as my consulting practice. Today, I work directly with companies that need senior backend expertise — the kind that comes from having built, broken, and rebuilt complex systems across multiple industries and tech stacks.
I believe in depth over breadth.
I don't take on ten projects at once. I embed with your team, understand your architecture, and deliver work that lasts beyond my engagement. My approach is hands-on: I write code, review pull requests, design systems, and transfer knowledge so your team is stronger after I leave.
