Sean Powell is a seasoned software engineer and serial founder with roughly two decades of experience turning product ideas into robust backend systems and self-service user experiences. Based in Roskilde, he co-founded multiple startups and runs Man Vs Potato, an IT consultancy that specializes in building pragmatic, user-focused tech—frequently using Elixir/Phoenix and LiveView to accelerate delivery. He has a track record of simplifying complex systems (often removing more code than he added), migrating brittle MVPs into scalable Django/Postgres backends, and automating manual logistics workflows for merchants. Sean blends hands-on engineering with product empathy, shipping solutions that measurably increase engagement and operational efficiency. A pragmatic polyglot comfortable across Elixir, Django, JavaScript and Kubernetes, he pairs startup grit with a knack for teaching teams new patterns and tooling.
