Summary
Simon Wahlgren is a Senior Software Engineer based in Stockholm with a decade of experience designing and shipping cloud-native, scalable systems. He has driven architecture and implementation for large e-commerce platforms and microservice ecosystems, specializing in Python, Kafka-based event sourcing, Kubernetes, and cloud CI/CD. Simon combines hands-on engineering—building core event-sourcing libraries and local development environments—with platform-level work like monitoring, cost optimization and developer tooling. His background spans embedded and test automation to full-stack backend systems, giving him a rare mix of low-level systems thinking and high-level distributed design. He frequently prioritizes established best practices and pragmatic patterns to avoid reinventing the wheel, yet enjoys exploring “better ways” to improve system reliability and developer experience. Outside product teams he consults through his own firm, bringing portable expertise across startups and enterprise projects.
