# Nikola Steenstrup > Product-minded tinkerer bringing cross-functional experience to building scalable systems. Location: Greater Boston, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/nikolasteenstrup I am more and more letting Claude manage this profile for me. I asked it to rewrite my "About" for me in my tone based on our tinkering so far. Claude Opus 4.6 - "Spent three years at Ellevation Education building software for schools. Shipped systems that scaled, led from inside the team, and learned that the best engineering decisions are the ones that hold up a year later. I come from both sides — software engineering and product management — which means I think about what to build as much as how to build it. I'd rather solve a problem carefully than ship something fast and patch it forever." ## Work Experience ### Software Engineer @ Ellevation Education Jan 2022 – Jan 2025 ### Product Manager @ Ellevation Education Jan 2020 – Jan 2022 | Boston, Massachusetts, United States ### Product Manager @ Hopper Jan 2018 – Jan 2020 | Greater Boston Area ### Product Management Intern @ Hopper Jan 2015 – Jan 2017 | Cambridge, Massachusetts Summer's 2015 and 20167 Winter 2016 and 2017 ### Intern @ The Food Project Jan 2011 – Jan 2014 | Lincoln, Massachusetts ## Education ### Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Information Technology and Web Science Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute ### Newton North High School ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/nikola-steenstrup --- Source: https://flows.cv/nikolasteenstrup JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/nikolasteenstrup/resume.json Last updated: 2026-03-31
