Erik ✦Sällström
Data Solutions Architect building cloud data platforms that turn messy sources into numbers a whole company can trust.
(01) — Manifesto
I build data platforms that feel inevitable — pipelines that scale without shouting, models that earn their trust. Eighteen years, hard problems, one obsession: clean data.
Twelve years at Visma SPCS — from developer and junior DBA to architect of the Data Solutions team. Before that, Boss Media: 300 servers, Oracle, and shipping under pressure.

(03) — Capabilities
Data Architecture
Platform foundations that serve a whole organisation — modelling, governance, and the unglamorous decisions that keep data trustworthy.
Data Engineering
dbt, Airflow, BigQuery and Python — pipelines that carry messy sources to clean, tested models in the cloud.
Leadership & Enablement
Sub-team lead and coach — upskilling engineers, running internal training, raising the collective technical bar.
(04) — Recognition
“Erik has left an enormous mark during his 12 years with us — not least by taking our data warehouse solution from on-premise servers to a modern, top-class platform that we are truly proud of today.
A huge thank you for all the fantastic work you have put in over the years, Erik. Your technical expertise, your commitment and your ability to drive change have truly made a difference for the entire organisation. Your ability to see people for who they are, and to help them, is something we will miss.”
Built two internal MCP servers that accelerated the team’s development cycle — one integrating Jira with an AI pipeline to surface and scope new data platform features, the other connecting directly to BigQuery to validate output, detect anomalies, and enable instant ad-hoc analysis.
“Thanks for all your hard work and above all for your positive attitude which you bring to the team.”
“Thank you for your excellent and dedicated work when creating auto deployment of GMS. The work is even better than expected.”
