Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChristian Mikkelsen is a pragmatic cloud and platform engineering leader with 10+ years of experience building automated, developer-first Kubernetes platforms and CI/CD pipelines for large enterprises like Telenor and the LEGO Group. He combines hands-on systems design—from embedded and Windows CE work to multi-cluster GitOps deployments on Google Cloud—with a strong focus on developer experience so teams can ship in minutes without needing infrastructure expertise. Known for tearing down legacy processes and introducing BDD/Specification-by-Example and true continuous delivery, he pairs deep technical craft with people-first leadership rooted in psychology studies. Christian thrives on solving hard problems, mentoring colleagues, and creating high-performance teams with psychological safety. A former embedded systems and tooling maintainer who still values meticulous automation, he brings both low-level pragmatism and cloud-native architecture instincts to platform initiatives.
