Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolArnaldur Hilmisson is a seasoned polyglot software engineer and co-founder based in Stockholm with 10 years of professional experience spanning mobile, frontend and now backend systems primarily in Python and Go. He combines hands-on engineering with leadership—having led platform and backend teams at Lifesum and served as technical lead/consultant for clients like Northvolt—while still preferring to be deep in the code. His strengths include designing backend services, cloud and DevOps practices (Azure/AWS), and pragmatic architecture for both relational and document stores. Comfortable shifting between interim leadership and pure engineering roles, he also brings mobile and frontend experience that helps bridge cross-stack teams. An entrepreneurial operator, he repeatedly takes broad responsibility in early-stage ventures and consultancy, turning ambiguous requirements into shipping systems.
