Summary
Christofer Ohlsson is a Senior Backend Engineer based in Amsterdam with about a decade of experience building scalable systems across travel, finance, manufacturing and retail. He is polyglot by practice—comfortable in Java, C#, Python and F#—and has recently focused on productionizing machine learning platforms using Java, Dropwizard, Kubernetes, Kafka, Elasticsearch and Cassandra. At Booking.com he improved observability and traceability of ML pipelines to give customers clearer event-level insights, and he has continued to drive backend reliability at Meta, Miro and now Typeform. He also freelanced as a technical interviewer for Karat, helping candidates worldwide present their strengths, which reflects both deep technical skill and strong communication. A former journalist and high-school teacher, he brings an uncommon mix of storytelling and pedagogy to complex engineering problems. Colleagues would describe him as pragmatic, curious and skilled at turning messy distributed systems into auditable, production-ready services.
