Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJoel Wilsson is a Chief Technology Officer and seasoned technology leader based in Oslo with 13 years of experience building cloud-native, data-intensive platforms. He designs and operates end-to-end devops infrastructure and modern data pipelines—Terraform/Ansible, Jenkins, Prometheus, Kafka, Spark, Druid, PostgreSQL and S3—while productionizing services and BI access. At Cognite and Telenor he led efforts to deploy Mesos+Spark on EC2 spot instances, run Spinnaker-driven Kubernetes pipelines, and operate Elasticsearch clusters for real-time analytics. An active open-source contributor, he has improved Spinnaker’s Kubernetes integrations (orca, clouddriver, deck) and even contributed to core Scala 3 compiler type-system work. He combines hands-on ETL and backend engineering (Clojure, Python, tuning Postgres) with architecture, mentoring and partnership work to onboard new data sources. He holds a master’s in Complex Adaptive Systems from Chalmers and applies that systems-thinking to scale reliable analytics platforms.
