Mikael Lundin Profile

Hello,

My name is Mikael Lundin and I am an expert in creating software. My father was a software developer, which meant that I grew up with computers in my home. I started writing code as early as the age of 12 and have been coding ever since.

I have 3 years of university education in Data Engineering from KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, and I started my professional career 2007 as a software developer in .NET technologies.

Since then I have expanded not only my knowledge of different programming languages and frameworks, but also worked alot with quality assurance, team lead, project management and product ownership. I thrive in agile environment that enable teams and experimentation.

In 2021 I decided to become self-employed after 14 years of working for others. I'm also running a software product business together with two partners called inCAPS.

Services

Software Development

I have a history of growing up with programming languages like Turbo Pascal, PHP and C. My first working language since 2007 has been C# and that is the language that I have most experience with. Lately I have done all new projects in Javascript with React or nodejs in the backend.

My depth is in backend development, coding up integrations with TDD, but I've also been working a lot with frontend technologies mainly React, but also old school HTML, CSS and javascript.

I can help you with

  • Backend
  • C#
  • F#
  • nodejs
  • Frontend
  • React
  • HTML
  • CSS
  • Javascript
  • Episerver CMS
  • Umbraco CMS
  • React Native
  • Shopify
  • Azure

Solution Architecture

I've been working with solution architecture for the last 10 years of my professional career. It started out as technical sales, but soon led to bootstrapping projects for development teams.

I like to not only draw boxes and arrows connecting them, but test out my architectures by writing the code that gets it going. I usually stick around mentoring the developers that are supposed to work in this architecture that I have devised.

Project Management

I've been actively studying and taking on the project management role since 2013. I am a strong proponent of Agile software development, with a touch of Lean and DevOps. I work as a servant leader paving the way for a development team to enable them to do their best work possible.

I have been organizing a book club around project management since 2018 where we read books and discuss them. The books that inspire me most are Agile Management 3.0, Lean Startup, Get in the Boat, Accelerate and Continuously Digital.

  • Project Management
  • Prestudy
  • Requirements
  • Workshops
  • Postmortem

Product Ownership

During several years I was acting product owner for Fitness24Seven digital platform. I've come to learn alot about product ownership and I am a strong believer that you need a software person in that role in order to succeed. It's not just about adding business requirements to a backlog, but knowing how your prioritization will affect the output of the development team.

At Fitness24Seven I managed to produce extraordinary results from where the digital channels were, to where it is today, with very scarce resources but a lot of spirit and engagement.

I can help you with

  • Software Procurement
  • Technical Interviews
  • Digital Strategy
  • Governance

Experience

Serviceupplevelsen

MKB Fastighets AB, Jan 2024 - Dec 2024

MKB was revising their digital service offering, and changing platform to Dynamics 365. My part was to integrate the new platform with existing systems, and to migrate data to the new platform. I was both advising on the solution as well as building data pipelines hands-on, moving data both in integration and migration scenarios, using the data platform that I've previously developed for MKB.

Data Platform

MKB Fastighets AB, Aug 2023 - Dec 2023

MKB needed a data platform for making data from their business systems available for their applications in a data lake. I developed an architecture based on Microsoft Medallion Lakehouse reference architecture and implemented it with Azure Databricks, Azure Data Factory och Azure Datalake. I worked with a data scientist who developed data models for property management, which I implemented in the Data Platform with Databricks and PySpark. Integrations with blueprint system and Azure AD (Microsoft Entra) was made with Python on Azure Functions.

System Strategy

MKB Fastighets AB, Aug 2022 - Dec 2022

MKB wanted help with a strategy for getting their digital development up to speed. At the moment they had spread their digital landscape onto many different products, suppliers and consultants and there were no structure for keeping an architectural integrity. I created a solution architecture for a digital platform, roadmap and guide for taking control of their own digital development, and I helped out in some of the hands-on projects "My Pages", "Parking prestudy" and "Authentication Platform".

Content Migration Strategy

Fitness24Seven, Feb 2022 - Jun 2022

Fitness24Seven wanted help to consolidate their content strategy. Information about their sites where spread to different systems with no master data management. I created a content strategy to make sure all their channels always would be updated with the correct informtion, I built the integrations between their backend, app and CMS in C# and nodejs, and I created a new administration interface in React for their master data management.

Solution Architect

Fitness24Seven, Jan 2019 - Jul 2021

I was hired to Fitness24Seven as a response to their current strategy of outsourcing all software development had led to bug ridden solutions that were hopeless to maintain. I conducted a plan on how we could turn the situation around, become less dependent on consultants, and be able to produce higher quality solutions at a lower price. During my time as solution architect at Fitness24Seven I created countless of business cases where some of them led to projects that we delivered and which brought much value to the organization.

Product Owner

Fitness24Seven, Jan 2019 - Jul 2021

As product owner for the digital services at Fitness24Seven my role was manyfold. I built a development team at Fitness24Seven where there previously only been outsourcing of projects to consultants. I brought order in our development and support processes to create a reliable delivery. I setup quality assurance so we reduced the number of bugs released to production to a handfull, and I setup a plan and strategy for the digital development for the next three years. In my service we managed to turn the software delivery from "we can't" into "we can!" with very few resources.

I was assigned the mission to produce an e-shop for experimentation in digital sales. I put together a project, collected a great team and we worked for four months to deliver an e-shop. As a product owner I focused on enabling the team to succeed in the task they were given, and making choices of the right path forward. In my role as solution architect I helped the team with the tricker integration parts between Shopify and the ERP, and I lead the evaluation of a new payment service provider for Fitness24Seven.

Public Website

Fitness24Seven, Aug 2019 - Nov 2019

One of the major problems when I started at Fitness24Seven was the public website that didn't work. It was slow, expensive to host, impossible to maintain and content editors couldn't create content for it realiably. I created a business case for replacing it with an Umbraco CMS site which seemed to be the perfect match for Fitness24Seven. It was a very successful project and the delivery was very appreciated by the organization. I took it on myself to make our legacy React applications to work in the new Umbraco CMS system.

Fitness24Seven, Jan 2019 - Aug 2019

This project was already ongoing when I joined Fitness24Seven. It got into a bad situation when our consultancy firm tried to build it on an already legacy website solution. At last I managed to break out the code base into its own application and I brought in a trusted developer that worked on the source code for 6 months so we could get it out to production. I'm happy to say that the end result worked pretty well and has generated a lot of value for Fitness24Seven, despite the project's hardships at the beginning.

Novartis Pharma AG, 2014

In this project we built a B2B site for Novartis, where pharmacies in Spain would be able to order restocks.
