Top SchoolFredrik Olovsson is a founding engineer and applied AI + TypeScript specialist with 11 years of experience building full‑stack products and shipping mission‑critical features at scale. He moved from multi‑team leadership and hands‑on engineering at Klarna—where he led app revamps, native integrations, and worked on Klarna's AI Assistant—to founding Pit, focused on turning human intent into reliable systems. Skilled across TypeScript, React/React Native, Node, and OpenAI integrations, he combines pragmatic engineering with product thinking and a knack for shipping under tight deadlines. His background includes founding startups, raising early funding, and running a consultancy, reflecting strong product and go‑to‑market instincts alongside technical depth.

Colleagues know him as a versatile contributor who mentors teams, challenges the status quo, and bridges analytics, design and engineering to deliver measurable outcomes.
