Richard Lagerström is a pragmatic technology leader and CTO based in Stockholm with over a decade of experience designing and operating high-performance, distributed cloud platforms. He has led infrastructure and DevOps at scale—from Blocket’s mobile web rebuild to heading platform stability and monitoring at Shareville—and most recently runs DataDescriber after years as a cloud architect and Linux specialist at his consultancy. Deeply hands-on with Kubernetes, Rancher and Ceph, he blends systems-level troubleshooting (C, PostgreSQL, core-dump analysis) with modern cloud-native practices on GCP. Colleagues rely on him to detect bottlenecks and translate operational pain into durable architecture and automated workflows. An early builder of social network infrastructure and custom CMSs, he brings product-minded engineering and a long track record of turning complex backend challenges into reliable production systems.
