Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJacob Mikkelsen is an experienced IT manager and hands-on architect with 13 years of practice building secure, scalable systems and leading a small high-performing team from Odense, Denmark. He blends servant-leadership—delegating ownership, fostering psychological safety, and lightweight decision frameworks—with deep full-stack craftsmanship across Micronaut microservices, Nuxt/Vue frontends, Kotlin Android, Groovy and PostgreSQL. He runs production infrastructure in AWS, emphasizes secure-by-default design, and uses data-driven profiling and tuning to squeeze performance and reliability from databases and algorithms. As an external lecturer in advanced database topics and networks, he translates academic rigour into practical engineering practices like IaC, CI/CD, blameless postmortems and automated quality gates. Comfortable both in code and architecture, he keeps the team autonomous so delivery and quality improve even when he’s not in the room. An unusual combination of festival IT operations and early kitchen leadership hints at a steady, pragmatic operator who thrives under pressure and in diverse environments.
