Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolNicolaj Græsholt is a pragmatic CTO and founder with 11 years of experience designing cloud-native systems, CI/CD pipelines, and developer tooling. He blends hands-on engineering—Docker, Kubernetes, Jenkins—and entrepreneurial grit from founding Merrymake and earlier web and e-commerce ventures. A former Continuous Delivery consultant and trainer, he excels at translating complex infrastructure needs into practical, teachable solutions and has a knack for demystifying #buzzwords for teams. Nicolaj holds a Master’s in Computer Science from Aarhus University and pairs academic depth with a do-leader mindset: he builds, showcases, and teaches when something works—or explains why it shouldn’t be done. Outside work he’s creatively restless—into gaming, singing, dancing, cooking and hardware—bringing playful curiosity to technical problem solving. Based in Aarhus, he equally enjoys building the cloud of tomorrow and showing others how to ship it.
