About

With over 9 years of experience as a software engineer, I have developed a passion for building scalable, reliable, and efficient data pipelines using cutting-edge technologies such as Kafka, Spark, AWS, and Terraform. I am currently a senior software engineer at Klarna, one of the world's leading fintech companies, where I work on creating derived data for merchant and fraud analysis, as well as real-time transaction verification and approval. I am motivated by the challenge of solving complex problems, delivering value to customers, and fostering a culture of innovation and collaboration within the team. At Klarna, I have been involved in designing and implementing the system architecture and codebase for the data pipeline, using Java, Kafka, Kafka Streams, and PySpark. I have also leveraged Terraform and Jenkins to automate the deployment and testing of the infrastructure and applications on AWS. Additionally, I have been an active speaker and contributor to the Kafka community, sharing my insights and best practices at various events and platforms, such as Kafka Summit London 2024, KonferenSE 2023, and Kafka Summit 2021 Europe. I have also mentored and coached several junior and mid-level engineers, helping them develop their skills and grow their careers.
