Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSven Laater is a pragmatic CTO and founding partner with nearly 20 years of hands-on software engineering experience, currently leading Builderhead’s product and technical direction from Estonia. He blends deep Clojure, Datomic and ClojureScript expertise with cloud-native DevOps (AWS, CloudFormation), API design (GraphQL, Pedestal) and Polylith back-end architectures to move products from MVP to production. Sven has a strong track record in startups and acquisitions—spanning mobile hybrid apps, geospatial visualization and internal tooling at The Climate Corporation—while also founding a healthcare/dental software venture early in his career. He focuses on building small, fully remote engineering teams and modern practices like CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code and feature-flag driven delivery. Notably, he prefers concentrated product work over external consulting and brings a rare mix of UX-minded product design and low-level systems experience.
