Summary
Johan Blad is a Machine Learning Engineer based in Stockholm with 12 years of experience building end-to-end AI, data and analytics solutions across media, product and consulting environments. He has moved between hands-on engineering and leadership roles—designing ML pipelines at Dagens Nyheter, architecting merged platforms and analytics at Cepheid, and coaching teams and developing services as a consultant and associate manager at Netlight. Johan combines strong software engineering (TypeScript, Java, cloud, microservices) with practical ML deployment experience, having delivered productionized topic segmentation and analytics integrations that improved cross-brand KPIs. He is pragmatic about operational concerns—CI/CD, testing, and data warehouse integration—and has repeatedly bridged research and product to turn models into measurable business impact. Comfortable in both startup projects and larger enterprises, he brings a sociotechnical systems background to frame technical choices around people and processes.
