Senior🎓
Top SchoolRickard Sundén is a Senior Software Engineer with 11 years of experience building scalable web applications and products across startups and mid-stage companies. He’s strongest in Ruby and JavaScript and routinely ships full‑stack features using Rails, Vue, React, Hotwire and Svelte, while also bringing experience in Elixir, Python, C#/C++ game work, and modern cloud platforms like AWS, Heroku, fly.io and serverless stacks. As a former founder of StandupBot, which he built and sold, Rickard blends hands-on engineering with product sensibility and post‑sale support experience. He thrives in team settings, leads by example, and moves quickly from learning to delivery. Based in Atlanta and half Swedish/half American, he’s passionate about open source, music and education — and once taught Ruby as a bootcamp TA. Outside work he’s an avid dog owner and amateur singer, small personal details that reflect his collaborative and curious approach to engineering.
