my story

hey! i'm gustav. grew up playing football and video games, thought i'd become an architect, spent a year in the airforce, went to uni, and somehow ended up as a data engineer.

the common thread? i've always been creative and loved solving problems. whether it's making music, drawing, carpenting, or now writing code – i need that creative outlet. programming is the perfect blend: problem-solving meets creative expression.

data engineer at volvo, building pipelines with dagster, dbt, iceberg, and snowflake.

currently looking into error-resilient pipelines that recover autonomously. working on monitoring and logging that actually helps instead of just generating noise. trying to build systems that don't need me awake at 3am.

always exploring new tools and where the space is moving – how to scale better, cut costs, increase resilience. the platform i build today should be better than yesterday's, and worse than tomorrow's.

most of all, focused on impact. better developer experience for the team? win. stakeholders making data-driven decisions? win. if what i build makes someone's work easier or more informed, that's the point.

when the weather allows i play football. else you might find me playing video games or tinkering with somehing.
