Rockstar

Max Ekman is a Gothenburg-based software architect, founder of Looplab and fractional CTO with 13 years of experience building cloud-native, distributed and edge systems. He brings deep hands-on expertise in Go (10+ years), Google Cloud, Kubernetes, Terraform, event sourcing and AI/ML ops, and regularly partners with CEOs and CTOs to shape architecture and delivery. At Einride he served as Chief Software Architect for Autonomous Technologies, shifting testing left, increasing release cadence and strengthening vendor relationships while remaining practical and code-oriented. He is an active open-source contributor (notably enhancing the looplab/fsm Go library with better error handling, custom event args and examples) and champions quality and extensibility in core libraries. Unusually for a systems architect, he started in VFX and pipeline engineering—authoring a scalable render-farm and custom Maya tools—which gives him a production-minded approach to automation, tooling and performance.
