He has delivered production systems for large enterprises like Volvo Cars and Ericsson, blending hands-on development with deployment automation using Kubernetes, Helm, Jenkins, Prometheus and Grafana. His background spans full-stack and big data work—designing HBase storage for petabytes of logs, real-time ETL on Hadoop/Dask, and token-based authentication services for high-availability microservice environments.
