I thrive in the intersection of research, software engineering, and leadership.
Experience
CTO & Co-founder @ Movesta
Movesta’s vision is to build the central node for the housing market ecosystem, making it more efficient and transparent.
- Built up the team and technology platform from scratch.
- Developed the market-leading automatic valuation model end-to-end, including data collection and ML pipelines.
- Reached a revenue of € 20M second year of operation.
- Raised € 5M in VC funding.
GCP. Python: ML-stack (TensorFlow, Luigi, W&B), FastAPI. Javascript: React, Redux, Firebase, Material UI. Docker.
Senior Machine Learning Engineer @ Peltarion
Hired as lead ML Engineer in the Product team and tasked to bridge the gap to the Research department and ensure efficient integration of ML best practices and SOTA-methods into Peltarion’s no-code Deep Learning platform. Led the addition of:
- Pretrained weights
- Text analysis/NLP incl. porting of the Google Research implementation of BERT
- Model check-pointing for preemptible GPUs.
GCP. Python: ML-stack (TensorFlow). Java. Docker.
CTO, Founding Team @ Sana Labs
AI-powered personalized learning platform. First 5 months as advisor, before joining fulltime.
- Led the development of a real-time educational content recommendation API, from early-stage research to production and launch with paying customers in < 8 months
- Led the recruitment of the initial team
- Raised a high-profile investor seed round at € 10M+ valuation
Golang, Python ML-stack (TensorFlow), GCP: ML Engine, App Engine, Data Flow (Scala), Big Table, Big Query, PostgreSQL
Head of Machine Learning @ Watty
- From Intern to heading the ML team (4-7 SWEs) in 1,5 years.
- Drove the transition of Watty’s core technology for energy disaggregation to an end-to-end Deep Learning approach based on the application of Recurrent Neural Networks to asynchronous (event-driven) data streams.
- Part of the strategic decision-making team (me + CEO and CTO) and had an active role in the fundraising of a € 3M seed round led by EQT Ventures.
AWS. Python: ML-stack (Pandas, Theano, TensorFlow). Cassandra, RabbitMQ, ELK-stack. Docker.

Volunteering & Open Source
I am one of the co-founders of Stockholm AI and play an active role in the community through mentoring, moderating ML/AI-events, and giving technical talks. I am a proponent of open source and contribute when I find time, although as a startup founder (and parent) I have naturally dedicated most of my work to my commercial commitments.
