Dan Lawesson is a seasoned engineering leader and founder based in Linköping, Sweden with nine years of startup and product leadership experience and a deep academic background (PhD in Computer Science). As Co-Founder and VP Engineering at RADTONICS and former CTO/CSO roles, he blends hands-on systems design with executive strategy to deliver robust, customer-facing software in constrained domains like automotive ECUs and telecom billing. He has a strong backend focus—contributing bug fixes and runtime optimizations to the Speedment Stream ORM—demonstrating attention to correctness, performance and database edge cases across MariaDB and PostgreSQL. Comfortable leading distributed teams and technical sales interactions, he has repeatedly bridged research-grade formal methods from his academic work into practical fault-isolation and diagnosability solutions. Colleagues value him for turning complex, safety- and reliability-driven requirements into maintainable architectures while still shipping code.
