Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolPierre Hedkvist is a Senior Software Engineer based in Stockholm with 11 years of experience building full-stack systems and a growing focus on backend architecture and scalable APIs. He has shipped user-facing SDKs and services at Visa powering millions of monthly sessions, led experiments that measurably improved payment UX, and owned cross-team deliveries like Variable Recurring Payments. Pierre brings practical system design experience from digital engineering at Futurice—building IoT monitoring, partner APIs, and event-driven caching on Azure—and a strong habit of mentoring through mob programming and pair sessions. Comfortable across frontend and backend stacks, he combines product-minded collaboration with data-driven decision making and a bias toward shipping. An early researcher in collaborative real-time editing, he also has hands-on experience with CRDT/OT concepts from his master’s thesis, which informs his approach to concurrency and consistency in distributed systems.
