John Rossberg is a versatile full-stack engineer with 11 years of experience building performant web and 3D applications for startups and large enterprises, including a key role developing one of IKEA’s most complex wardrobe planners. Comfortable across backend systems (Scala, Node.js, Kafka, Elasticsearch) and modern front-end stacks (React, TypeScript, redux, 3D engines), he blends system architecture work with hands-on coding. He actively experiments in side projects like Matopia and oncourt.se, using them to trial new tech such as full TypeScript, GraphQL, and advanced gesture animations. John’s open-source contributions to the Speedment Java ORM show a depth in database type-mapping and practical bug fixes, reflecting strong attention to data correctness and runtime behavior. Based in Malmö, he now applies this breadth as a "Code Wizard" at Celerblock, bringing creative problem-solving and performance-minded architecture to production systems.
