Summary
Mikael Östberg is a Platform Engineer with 13 years of hands-on experience building and modernizing delivery platforms and developer tooling, currently driving cloud-native platform work at Aurora Innovation. He excels at end-to-end automation—creating routable dev-in-a-box environments, service catalogs and deployment engines—to help teams ship faster and with confidence. Comfortable across Java, JavaScript, Groovy and Bash, he also pursues functional languages like Erlang, Haskell and Kotlin in his spare time, reflecting a deep interest in distributed systems that began with academic theses on Erlang and performance testing. Mikael thrives in small, cross-cultural teams and combines practical DevOps leadership with a developer-first mindset to improve developer experience and CI/CD practices. An ex-technical product owner and master's graduate from KTH, he blends research-driven thinking with production-grade execution.
