Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAnton Hvornum is a Stockholm-based technology leader with 13 years of hands-on experience spanning system design, security, infrastructure and software development across Linux, Windows Server and IBM mainframe environments. He has moved from operator and consultancy roles into executive leadership—serving as CTO, CEO and now Managing Director—while maintaining a strong engineering practice. An active open-source maintainer in the Arch Linux ecosystem and contributor to projects like pyglet, he brings practical backend and API experience (Django/Python) and a knack for shipping reliable, test-covered features. Known for solving messy operational problems, he pairs low-level network and hardware knowledge with product-focused R&D, including crafted electric motorcycle production. Colleagues describe him as creative and cheerful under pressure, and he still personally maintains Arch packages and the archinstall installer tooling—evidence of continued curiosity and technical ownership.
