Senior🎓
Top SchoolPeter Ahinko is a Senior Software Engineer based in Gothenburg with over a decade of hands-on experience building resilient backend systems and integrations across e‑commerce, logistics and sustainability-focused startups. He has repeatedly led architecture and platform projects—often as one of very few engineers—delivering scalable platforms with strong third‑party integrations (ERP, payment, carriers) and improving operational workflows. Recently he’s focused on fighting food waste through roles at Whywaste, Invafresh and now Upshop, combining domain knowledge with pragmatic engineering. Comfortable across PHP, Go, Linux, Docker and Postgres, he pairs deep backend expertise with experience in devops patterns like containers and microservices. Outside work he runs a homelab and experiments with Kubernetes, GitOps and home automation, which informs his production best practices and automation-first mindset. Known for growing into technical leadership roles, he brings a builder’s curiosity and a proven track record of shipping reliable systems end-to-end.
