Summary
Lennart Fridén is a seasoned consultant and software generalist with 14+ years of experience building and coaching engineering teams across Swedish tech and media companies. He blends hands-on development (Ruby, Elixir, backend systems) with team coaching and mob programming practices, often stepping into senior-staff-like roles to raise developer capability. As owner of a long-running IT consultancy and repeat consultant at firms like Funnel, Bonnier Broadcasting and Billogram, he thrives in contexts that prize pragmatic craftsmanship over narrow specialization. His background in philosophy and computer systems informs a thoughtful, systems-level approach to software problems and team dynamics. Off the clock he’s a perpetual journeyman, tabletop RPG designer and moderately mad horse owner — signaling a creative, iterative mindset that he brings to product and process work.
