Summary
Jesper Petersson is a software engineer based in Stockholm with 13 years of experience building web-first products and developer-facing tools. He currently develops at GeoGuessr, bringing deep frontend and system design skills honed across roles at Amazon, Booli and as a startup co-founder. At Amazon he worked on large-scale interfaces and distributed systems powering global browse and search experiences, and he pairs that backend scale experience with a strong focus on front-end maintainability from his early work and master’s thesis on SPA testability. Comfortable across the stack, he’s shipped products for media (SVT), real estate, and consumer gaming, and has experience mentoring engineers and presenting at industry events. His background blends practical startup resourcefulness with production-grade engineering at a hyperscale retailer, making him effective at turning complex data and UX requirements into reliable, maintainable web experiences. An interesting throughline is his long-term commitment to web apps—having contributed to or led front-end architecture decisions from master’s research through commercial systems.
