Stockholm, Sweden
Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolVictor Blomqvist is an architect with 13 years of experience building high-demand, scalable systems with strong emphasis on performance, user experience and privacy-aware design. He has led architecture and platform transformations—from monoliths to microservices—and headed an architecture steering group while driving cloud and analytics migrations (notably Druid to Snowflake) at Bannerflow. Comfortable across stacks (Go, C#/.NET, Python, PostgreSQL/PostGIS, JS) he combines hands-on implementation with team leadership, having scaled backend teams and systems at Tantan and other startups to handle tens of terabytes and hundreds of billions of rows. He’s practical about modern practices (Agile, TDD, CI/CD) and has delivered measurable operational improvements such as major storage and CDN savings and an in-house bot-filtering system that outperformed commercial offerings. An active open-source contributor, he’s improved Python packaging docs and fixed compatibility/stability issues in python-for-android recipes, showing attention to both documentation and low-level platform details. Based in Stockholm, he pairs a Chalmers MSc in Computer Science with a knack for turning complex requirements into pragmatic, production-ready solutions.
