Copenhagen, Capital Region of Denmark
Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolPer Olesen is a senior backend engineer with 16+ years building and architecting production systems across enterprise Java and professional PHP stacks. Currently at Skatteguiden, he brings deep experience with Composer, PHPUnit and frameworks like Laravel/Lumen, alongside a solid background in JEE and EJB-driven architectures. Comfortable across unix-like platforms (Linux, Solaris, AIX) and Windows, he prefers small, accountable teams and agile practices (Scrum, Kanban, XP) to deliver pragmatic solutions. As a founding partner of lingoowl and long-time independent consultant, he blends hands-on development with pre-sales, architecture and mentoring responsibilities. He’s polyglot-curious—having worked with Node.js and Go—and often gravitates toward pragmatic, maintainable backend designs rather than fashionable tech. Based in Copenhagen, he pairs academic training in computer science with a history of shipping reliable systems for both startups and large enterprises.
