Mikkel Malmberg is a senior software engineer with 17 years of experience, currently building at Holepunch from his base in Aalborg, Denmark. He blends deep back-end Ruby/Rails expertise—evidenced by contributions to a passwordless authentication library focused on magic links—with product-minded engineering cultivated during long stints at Elastic and multiple roles at DR. As owner of Brainbow since 2006 he pairs entrepreneurial initiative with hands-on delivery, and his background includes leading mobile and front-end teams as well as prototyping early-stage products. Comfortable moving between implementation, testing, and system design, he has a track record of making authentication and agent code both pragmatic and well-tested. Unusually, he also has on-air experience as a host and creative lead, which informs his strong communication and audience-focused product instincts.
