Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolOscar Utbult is a Platform Engineer with 13 years of experience building resilient cloud-native infrastructure and developer tooling from Gothenburg, Sweden. He blends hands-on DevOps, backend and automation work—contributing to high-profile open-source projects such as Kubernetes (cluster-api, kubebuilder, test-infra) where he improved dependencies, linters, and release tooling to raise code quality and reliability. At Pagero and previously as a Developer Experience / Solutions Architect at Cygni he has focused on smoothing developer workflows and CI/CD lifecycles, while earlier roles spanned backend development and technical writing. Comfortable across Go, Python and shell tooling, he has a knack for subtle but impactful improvements (better error messages, linters, docs and caching defaults) that reduce developer friction. His academic background in computer science and cognitive science underpins a pragmatic, user-aware approach to platform design.
