San Francisco, California, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMagnus Österlind is a founder and CTO with over two decades of professional software engineering experience and a lifelong passion for coding that began in the early 90s. He’s comfortable across the full stack—from x86 assembly and low-level protocol work to game-console graphics, distributed backends, and client security—favoring projects that start from a blank slate and demand fast, robust solutions. His career includes leadership and hands-on roles at Roblox, Spotify, Blizzard, and Skydio, and he now runs Nomington Industries while continuing creative technical work in the demoscene. Notable strengths are performance profiling, systems optimization, and building tooling that scales from embedded bytes to petabyte analytics. Based in San Francisco, he blends deep technical craft with entrepreneurial drive and a taste for the low-level “goodness” most engineers rarely return to.
