About

Who I am

Portrait of Jonatan Sirak

I’m a people-first problem solver who enjoys turning chaos into clarity. Over the past nine years I’ve worked in software, and for the last three and a half years I’ve coached agile teams, improved processes, and delivered features in complex technical environments with consistency and focus.

I have a strong background in software and systems science (BSc, University of Gothenburg) and experience in both Scrum Master and development roles. My technical foundation in C++ and DevOps tooling helps me bridge the gap between engineering and management in a practical way.

Living in China and studying Chinese at Sichuan University for over 2 years has strengthened my communication skills, adaptability, and patience. These qualities support cross-functional teamwork and steady delivery under pressure.

Outside of my main career I founded Pamoja Imports, a project that connects African SMEs with trusted Chinese suppliers. That work has sharpened my negotiation skills, process thinking, and ability to collaborate remotely across time zones.

I’m currently open to remote opportunities within EMEA and interested in both Scrum Master and software development roles.
