Niclas Axelsson

Niclas Axelsson is an Erlang engineer with deep practical experience in building reliable, concurrent systems on the BEAM. He cares about making Erlang web development feel as straightforward and productive as it does in Elixir or Python—clean tooling, clear conventions, and a developer experience that helps you ship fast without sacrificing robustness. Outside of software, he’s also a furniture maker: a hands-on craftsman who thinks in joinery, proportions, and materials as naturally as he thinks in processes and message passing. Born in the forests of Värmland, Sweden, he brings that grounded, cheerful Värmland energy into everything he builds—whether it’s an OTP system or a cabinet.
