Senior Software & Data Platform Engineer · Copenhagen 🇩🇰
"The infrastructure nobody sees is the infrastructure everybody depends on."
I build the data infrastructure teams actually rely on — 17+ years designing event-driven systems, data pipelines, and cloud platforms that keep complex organisations running. From e-commerce at scale to enterprise data platform engineering, I focus on systems that are clean, consistent, and trustworthy.
My career has spanned software development, engineering leadership, data platforms, and workplace representation — giving me a well-rounded perspective on both technology and people.

| 🔄 Data Platform Engineering | Design and operate pipelines, ETL flows, and master data systems that keep data clean and trustworthy at scale |
| ⚡ Event-driven Architecture | Loosely coupled, real-time systems using cloud-native event streaming — responsive, scalable, and observable |
| 🤖 ML-assisted Automation | Machine learning applied where it removes real bottlenecks — classification, enrichment, intelligent onboarding |
| ☁️ Cloud Ownership | End-to-end Azure & AWS: infrastructure design, security, cost optimisation, and platform reliability |
| 🔌 Enterprise Integrations | Connecting ERP, CRM, commerce platforms (SAP, Salesforce, Mirakl, Magento) with robust integration patterns |
| 🏗️ Platform Administration | SSO, environment deployments, tooling, monitoring, and operational automation |
