Summary
Fjodor Ekström is a seasoned technical leader and architect with 13 years of experience building cloud-native, event-driven systems and accelerating AI adoption within IKEA Group. He combines hands-on engineering (Go, Python, TypeScript) with strategic architecture—designing vendor-agnostic, microservice platforms and standardized CI/CD that scale across global teams. Known for turning complex ML and product requirements into concrete roadmaps, he guides projects from ideation to production-ready, observable systems using GCP, Terraform and OpenTelemetry. Fjodor balances unofficial leadership and mentorship with direct technical delivery, having led platform modernizations, moderation services and recommendation initiatives. He also brings entrepreneurial experience as founder of anomad AB, which complements his consultancy background driving cross-functional collaboration and operational improvements. Based in Malmö, he is pragmatic about trade-offs and unusually attentive to developer productivity and observability as levers for long-term velocity.
