Senior🎓
Top SchoolJakob Kruse is a Technical Lead based in Copenhagen with 11 years of hands-on experience building and scaling backend systems, APIs, and integrations across payments, CRM, and SaaS platforms. He has led full-stack rebuilds and platform migrations using Docker, Kubernetes, Laravel, Node.js, Go, and modern front-end frameworks, and has practical experience tying complex vendor ecosystems together (banks, Salesforce, NetSuite, BigQuery).

His background includes high-scale search integrations and custom CRM systems, and he’s comfortable owning both legacy migrations and greenfield services. A former VP of Product Development who started in multimedia programming, he brings a rare mix of product sensibility and deep backend integration expertise.
