Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMagnus Knutas is a pragmatic software developer and founder with 14+ years of experience building apps, web platforms, microservices and cloud-native infrastructure across clients from RFSL to Atlas Copco and Helly Hansen. He has held engineering and executive roles—CTO, acting CEO, CDO—and currently splits time between founding The Botwork Place and developing at MetaSolutions AB, bringing product-first thinking to technical execution. Known for hands-on work in CI/CD and build automation (notably macOS build automation for the Unknown Horizons project), he excels at turning messy legacy setups into reliable pipelines. Equally comfortable sketching architecture and mentoring teams, he blends technical depth with people-focused leadership fostered by formal CEO training. Practical, curious and improvement-driven, he prefers refactoring over reverence: fine code is not like wine—just refactor and be happy.
