Summary
Ivar Abrahamsen is an engineering manager and technical architect with 16 years’ experience delivering regulated, integration-heavy platforms and leading multi-team programmes across enterprise and public sector clients. He combines hands-on Scala, Rust and TypeScript engineering with end-to-end ownership of architecture, delivery and team effectiveness, simplifying legacy landscapes via modularisation, Strangler patterns and microservices. Ivar has repeatedly introduced AI-assisted workflows across the SDLC—targeting flow, cognitive load reduction and reliability while baking in safety and governance. He runs a consultancy (Eray by Flurdy), founded multiple products, and has driven platform modernisation at organisations from Disney Streaming to Defra and HMRC. A Lean practitioner and hands-on mentor, he excels at turning experimental startup mindsets into production-grade platforms. Based in East Hampshire, he’s open to remote or hybrid roles across the UK, Nordics and EU and uniquely blends deep platform experience with practical AI-for-engineering adoption.
