Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJohan Eliasson is a Stockholm-based CTO and founder with 12 years of experience building full-stack infrastructure and developer-first products, most notably scaling Nhost into an open-source Firebase alternative with 13,000+ active developers and 6,000+ GitHub stars. He blends hands-on backend engineering—implemented storage and auth routes using Express, S3 and JWT for Hasura integrations—with strategic leadership, having raised $3M seed and managed distributed engineering teams. Johan has a track record of turning complex, NP-hard problems into practical solutions through applied game theory at Gazella and boosting API performance and UX with modern TypeScript stacks at OneLab. Equally comfortable shipping revenue-generating web services and teaching computer science, he pairs entrepreneurial grit with academic depth (MSc in Computer Security) and a habit of “exploiting regularities” to simplify hard problems.
