Emil Ingerslev is a platform engineer with 12 years of hands-on experience modernizing cloud-native infrastructures, currently driving the transformation of Maritime IntelX into a scalable Kubernetes-based data platform. He specializes in developer efficiency, CI/CD, GitOps, and pragmatic use of technologies—evident in projects migrating legacy VM/SQL setups to Dagster-orchestrated, multi-database data lakes and GraphQL APIs. Emil has a history of building resilient, event-sourced systems (AuctionConnect) and core banking microservices, and contributes to open-source tooling like enhancements to the high-performance protoactor-go actor framework with OpenTelemetry tracing. Based in Aarhus, he combines a maker’s curiosity—running, hacking systems together, and running his own consultancy—with deep operational rigor to deliver observable, maintainable production systems.
