Fredrik Kjellberg is a systems-focused software developer with 13 years of practical experience and a strong academic background—currently completing a master's in Systems, Control and Mechatronics at Chalmers after a bachelor's in Computer Science. Based in Gothenburg, he combines hands-on backend work for resilient distributed systems (including contributions to the well-known Netflix/Hystrix project enhancing metrics publishing and fixing percentile/thread-pool calculations) with applied control and robotics interests from his studies. Employed at Saab since 2018, he brings industrial-grade engineering practices from prior roles at Ericsson and Volvo Cars, spanning test-equipment tooling, web-based databases, and verification. Fredrik’s profile reflects a rare blend of control theory intuition and production backend engineering, making him adept at building reliable systems where software meets physical hardware.

Hystrix is a latency and fault tolerance library designed to isolate points of access to remote systems, services and 3rd party libraries, stop cascading failure and enable resilience in complex distributed systems where failure is inevitable.
Role in this project:
Back-end Developer
Contributions:8 commits in 11 months
Contributions summary:Fredrik primarily contributed to adding and integrating metrics publishing capabilities. This involved implementing modules to publish Hystrix metrics to various platforms, including Yammer Metrics and Coda Hale Metrics. They also fixed issues related to metric calculations, specifically addressing incorrect thread pool rate calculations and percentile values in the Servo publisher. Additionally, the user added the Apache 2.0 license header to multiple files.
