Senior🎓
Top SchoolSvante Karlsson is a seasoned software architect and embedded systems engineer with 12+ years of experience building large-scale streaming, IoT and real-time systems across automotive, finance, and broadcast domains. Currently Chief Engineer, Cloud & Embedded at TRATON Group and a long-time consultant, he blends deep C++/Scala expertise with hands-on firmware, BSP and device bring-up skills to deliver end-to-end solutions from board bring-up to cloud-native stream processing. He has designed high-throughput Kafka-based platforms, petabyte-scale on‑prem data infrastructures, and latency-sensitive tick-data and exchange connectivity for trading and media systems. Svante is comfortable across the stack—kernel and drivers, embedded RTOS and Linux, networking stacks (lwIP/uIP), and distributed tools like Mesos, Spark, Cassandra and Aerospike—and frequently optimizes performance at the assembly or tooling level. Notably, he has shipped custom Kafka Streams implementations in C++ and delivered ARM NEON assembler optimizations for mobile VR positional tracking. Based in Stockholm with an M.Sc. in Computer Science from Linköping University, he prefers solving hard integration problems where hardware constraints meet large-scale data processing.
