Martin Karlsson — CTO
I’m a technology professional with experience leading products and platforms from early R&D to large-scale production used by thousands of customers. My background spans cloud architecture, data platforms, and applied AI, with a focus on building solutions that create real business impact. I’ve worked across a wide range of industries including NanoTech, MedTech, Telecom, Automotive, Oil & Gas, Mining, Steel, and Dairy. This gives me a broad and adaptable perspective on complex technical and organizational challenges. As a freelancer, I support both established enterprises and fast-moving startups. My work spans strategy, architecture, and hands-on engineering—helping organizations modernize their platforms and prepare for real AI adoption. My core strengths: • AWS cloud architecture (serverless, EKS, distributed systems) • Applied AI and LLM integrations (Claude, Bedrock, RAG, vLLM) • Python development and backend/data engineering • Kubernetes and cloud-agnostic platform design • Knowledge graphs and graph data modeling (Neo4j, dGraph, ArangoDB) • Translating business goals into clear technical direction • Working with C-level, product, R&D, and engineering teams I enjoy building practical, scalable systems and helping teams turn ideas into solutions that make a difference.
