Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolOskar Segersvärd is a Senior Software Engineer with 12 years of experience building reliable, efficient JavaScript tooling and services, now at Epidemic Sound after an eight-year tenure at Google. He combines deep compiler and bundler expertise—early contributor to the widely used Rollup bundler and contributor to Closure Compiler—with practical front-end work like improving CodeMirror modes and ES6 shims. Known for accessible, efficient and flexible engineering, he frequently tackles tricky language-spec edge cases (e.g., export * handling, Reflect API behavior, spread call fixes) to make developer tools more correct and ergonomic. Based in Solna, Sweden, he brings an academic grounding from KTH and a track record of shipping production-grade optimizations that quietly improve large ecosystems.
