Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMads Villadsen is an engineering manager with 17 years of experience leading distributed and co-located teams across startups and multinational companies, currently building runtime platform capabilities at Databricks. He has a strong track record at GitHub, Microsoft, and Uber improving developer experience, build/test systems, and scalable backend platforms such as the Uber Eats catalog and the npm registry. A computer scientist and open source enthusiast, he pairs hands-on system architecture work with people-first engineering management—hiring, performance reviews, 1:1s, and customer workshops. He excels at cross-disciplinary collaboration with backend, frontend, data, ML and UX teams and is known as a pragmatic “rubber duck” who helps engineers talk through hard problems. Less obvious: he’s been involved in national-scale system evaluations and specification writing, bringing a habit of rigorous, production-minded decision making to platform and developer tooling initiatives.
