Summary
Tomas Bäckman is a pragmatic system developer with 11 years of experience building software across embedded C/C++, backend services in Go and Java, and database administration. Currently working at Layer 10 and finishing a degree in Computer Engineering at Chalmers, he focuses on embedded systems and low-level programming while comfortably moving between firmware, backend services, and DB2/SQL operations. His background includes enterprise projects at Volvo and hands-on roles in startups and consultancies, giving him a blend of production discipline and practical problem-solving. Notably, he has shifted from DBA and Java roles into system-level C/C++ development, reflecting a deliberate move toward embedded engineering. Based in Gothenburg, he brings both legacy system know-how and modern tooling experience (Docker, Maven) to embedded and systems projects.
