Summary
Pontus Freyhult is an experienced IT architect and systems engineer with 18 years of hands-on practice designing, operating and prototyping services across academic HPC, research infrastructures and cloud-native environments. Currently coordinating IT architecture at CMIV, he combines deep Unix/Linux, storage, networking and orchestration expertise with a user-centered approach—regularly engaging users to drive practical improvements rather than idealized designs. He has a track record running critical infrastructure (HPC clusters, OpenStack, Lustre, Slurm) and modernizing operations toward Kubernetes-native deployments and automation with tools like Ansible and Puppet. Pontus is a fast learner who routinely takes ownership of new domains, from data-center ops to complex workflow automation, and often moves ideas into pilots and production. Colleagues know him for balancing technical rigor with pragmatic decisions and for arguing fiercely on behalf of users when trade-offs arise. Based in Uppsala, he blends academic-scale infrastructure experience with startup-minded agility.
