Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolOskar Schöldström is a seasoned web developer with 15 years of experience building and maintaining Drupal- and WordPress-based sites, and a strong track record in front-end engineering, performance optimization, and DevOps tooling. Based in Uruguay after years of traveling through some 50–60 countries, he blends practical UNIX-centric workflows (Git, Vim, shell scripting) with modern build and deployment tools like Webpack, Ansible, Docker and Vagrant. At Genero he has led projects across development, sysops and front-end work, and contributed to high-profile open-source efforts such as the Gutenberg editor and geerlingguy/drupal-vm, improving editor components and dev VM workflows. He’s equally comfortable refactoring UI components and tuning server-side caching and has a knack for pragmatic fixes that improve developer experience and cross-browser behavior.
