🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJacob Hansson is a seasoned data and analytics professional with 15 years of experience architecting, building and running enterprise BI and data warehousing platforms across IKEA and other large organisations. Currently a Meta Data Management SME at Danske Bank, he blends hands‑on engineering—contributions to open-source projects like Neo4j drivers and django-money—with enterprise architecture and team leadership. His career spans roles from first‑line support to solution and enterprise architect, giving him a pragmatic appreciation for what succeeds in production and what becomes technical debt. He has deep expertise in metadata and data fabric concepts, and a track record of both delivering valuable business solutions and learning from initiatives that were later decommissioned. Based in Lund, Sweden, Jacob brings a rare combination of backend engineering chops, database and distributed systems experience, and product ownership across the full BI lifecycle.
