Per Bjurström is a Principal Software Engineer based in Stockholm with over two decades of involvement in the Episerver/Optimizely product family and 14 years of formal industry experience. He has led platform rewrites, guided migrations from .NET/Windows to .NET Core/Linux, and architected cloud-native microservices on Kubernetes for enterprise CMS. As Chief Architect and earlier team lead, he bridged hands-on .NET development, Azure/AWS integrations, and developer tooling while reporting directly to CTO-level stakeholders. Known for shepherding platform-wide APIs and driving process improvements—such as test automation and Microsoft Early Adoption programs—he combines deep technical craft with organizational influence. Comfortable moving between code and strategy, he’s one of the engineers who shipped Episerver from its first .NET beta roots into a modern cloud platform. His background in electrical engineering and early systems support gives him a practical troubleshooting mindset that complements his architectural focus.
