A bit about me

I'm a manager, software engineer, father, and musician, currently living in Jutland, Denmark. By day I lead platform engineering teams, working on infrastructure at a scale most people never see. Outside of work, I'm usually building something for my kids, chipping away at a new language, or picking out a tune on an instrument I probably shouldn't have bought.

If you have an interesting project that could use a hand — or just want to say hi — I'd love to hear from you.

What I do

Now

Engineering Manager, Uber

Leading three platform engineering teams — 16 engineers — across fleet-wide infrastructure, workload resilience, and platform security. Most recently coordinated a zero-incident migration of 1.1 million CPU cores to ARM architecture, unlocking significant annual savings.

Before

GitHub & npm (Microsoft)

Four years on Developer Experience — co-managing the npm package registry and shipping CI reliability work that saved thousands of engineering hours a month. Pictured presenting at ReactiveConf, Prague.

A life of adventure

"The unexamined life is not worth living."

What I'm building

A few side projects, mostly built for my kids and myself.

A suite of educational minigames built in Godot, designed directly for my own kids (counting, phonics, weather, and more).
A voice-based language learning app for real conversational practice.
An app for artist convention stamp rallies.
Modular, hot-swappable tactile hardware extensions (buttons, knobs, sliders) for kids' tablets — currently in development.
