Top SchoolNiklas Nihlén is a Senior Software Engineer and founder with 15+ years of experience designing and implementing distributed systems and microservices, now focused on cloud-native B2B solutions and AI-assisted engineering. He blends deep Microsoft heritage with a modern polyglot stack—Node.js, Python, AWS, GCP and Kubernetes—having led migrations from legacy monoliths to service-oriented architectures. Niklas excels at bridging big-picture architecture and hands-on delivery, frequently filling roles from developer lead and architect to interim product owner to keep teams aligned and shipping. He’s comfortable in both startup and scale-up environments, driving technical direction, documentation and guardrails that preserve team autonomy. A natural team builder, he prioritizes enabling others through coaching, roadmaps and pragmatic proof-of-concepts while still contributing code and reviews. Based in Stockholm, he runs his own consultancy and recently helped a fintech migrate Python 2→3 and decompose a monolith for scalable payments.
