Senior🎓
Top SchoolDaniel Hultqvist is a Senior Platform Engineer and founder of Typedef AB with 11 years of experience building large-scale, resilient backend systems across Java, Scala and Python. He combines hands-on delivery for tier‑1 services (e.g., platforms at Spotify handling millions of requests/sec) with consultancy work that spans cloud-native architectures, data processing (Hadoop, Dataflow), and performance-focused engineering. Daniel has driven complex projects from contactless payment systems for Stockholm transit to high-availability ticketing and subscription platforms, often owning both architecture and implementation. He also contributes to prominent open-source tooling, improving Google Cloud’s Bigtable CLI to make real-world data operations more flexible. Based in Stockholm, he runs a team of senior engineers and prefers to keep his consultancy independent—so don’t try to recruit him unless you start with a joke.
