Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJakob Norlin is a Stockholm-based frontend engineer and founder with 11 years of experience building user-focused web platforms and developer tooling. He has led large migration and consolidation efforts—most notably steering Mentimeter’s transition from Flow to TypeScript, consolidating multiple apps onto a single Next.js stack, and unifying frontend deployments via a monorepo. As Frontend Engineer at Grafbase he rewrote the dashboard on a modern stack using TanStack Router and Relay GraphQL, and he now applies that product-and-platform mindset as Co-Founder of Endform. Jakob combines hands-on implementation skills across React, Next.js, React Native and cloud-native deployments with product thinking from his industrial engineering background. He excels at reducing operational friction for product teams through platform improvements and pragmatic architecture choices. Colleagues would describe him as a pragmatic technical lead who prefers shipping measurable developer productivity gains over theoretical designs.
