Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolEmil Åström is a seasoned Senior Software Developer and consultant with 12+ years of experience crafting complex .NET-based systems and cloud-native solutions from Stockholm. He blends hands-on development and solution architecture, shipping microservices, APIs and CI/CD pipelines across Azure, TeamCity and Octopus for clients like H&M, SEB, Scania and Carnegie. Comfortable across full-stack concerns, Emil often pairs backend .NET Core services with TypeScript front-ends (Aurelia/React) and messaging platforms such as Kafka, RabbitMQ and MassTransit. He excels at modernizing legacy platforms—EPiServer and monoliths into scalable microservices—and bringing pragmatic deployment automation to production. A pragmatic problem-solver with roots in systems and research (Prolog/Oz) and a long track record of contract work, he’s as comfortable defining architecture as he is shipping the code that runs the business.
