Experience

Where I've worked

  1. Feb 2025 – Present

    Stockholm, Sweden

    Senior Software Engineer

    Volvo Cars

    • Reliability and observability for production LLM agents: an LLM-as-judge evaluation framework, per-agent failure handling in a multi-agent chatbot, and a real-time Kafka pipeline streaming every agent interaction to analytics.
    • Zero-downtime migrations of identity management to a self-managed Keycloak on Kubernetes and of Kafka services from AWS to Confluent Cloud on Azure.
    • Designed a relative-URL scheme and resolution endpoint that fixed a data-residency compliance issue for in-car app assets with zero changes to existing integrations; now the most-called endpoint in the team's APIs.

    Backend Software Engineer

    Valitive AB

    • Built data-source integrations into an event-driven pipeline that turns ~12M raw records into unified company entities, using Kafka and Akka Streams.

A few highlights

AI AgentsVolvo Cars

LLM-as-Judge Evaluation Framework

An evaluation framework for a production AI agent. Each test case defines natural-language criteria, and a configurable judge model scores both the agent's final output and its full session trace. Replaced manual side-by-side model comparison with repeatable batch runs across ~100 test cases, and is now the team's standard for model selection and feature validation.

Real-Time Agent Session Pipeline

A Kafka pipeline that streams every agent interaction (user and AI messages, tool calls, and tool responses) to analytics as it happens, captured by decorating LangChain4j's ChatMemory without touching agent logic. At-least-once delivery with deduplication keys, retries, and a dead-letter topic replaced a weekly manual Redis-to-Snowflake export that risked data loss.

Per-Agent Failure Handling

An exception-handling layer for a multi-agent chatbot where errors used to reach users as raw 5xx failures. It attributes each error to its originating agent while preserving the session trace, applies per-agent rules for retries, fallbacks, and messages, and returns structured responses so users always get a meaningful answer.

Zero-Downtime Keycloak & Kafka Migrations

Moved identity management from a legacy Keycloak to a self-managed deployment on Kubernetes, with dual-server support so the application could authenticate against both during cutover; authentication response times dropped by about two-thirds. Also moved Kafka services from AWS to Confluent Cloud on Azure with no downtime and no data loss.

Company Data Unification Pipeline

Data-source integrations for an event-driven pipeline that unifies company and business data from disparate sources, transforming ~12M raw records into structured company entities. Designed the Elasticsearch index and query layer that powers the customer-facing search and lookup product.
