I'm Henrik Oscarsson, CTO at CIKO, where I lead the team building Trygga, a platform CIKO uses itself and licenses to other transition organisations in Sweden. I make engineering teams faster by changing how they work, not by adding process. Behind that are 25 years of hands-on engineering in trading, payments and high-performance systems, so the advice holds up technically.
At CIKO, since April 2026
None of this is complicated. It's a handful of deliberate choices that remove friction and give people ownership.
Instead of a ticket-by-ticket status round, each day's standup is about the single most important thing for the team right now. Meetings stay short, and everyone leaves knowing what matters today.
Small fixes, tech debt and improvements don't need a ticket, a refinement session or permission. That creates flow and ownership, and the platform keeps getting better on its own.
When a task needs it, people group up in pairs or threes. Knowledge spreads naturally, and the team builds a shared view of how we build things, without relying on documentation.
I introduce AI by example: start with concrete, repetitive tasks like "build a UI component to our standards, with tests", then move to agentic frameworks that handle the orchestration.
My advice on ways of working holds up because I've spent 25 years building the systems myself, often where latency, reliability and scale aren't negotiable. Before CIKO, I was CTO at Valuno Group, and I've spent many years working in high-transaction environments, most of them trading systems.
I'm currently CTO at CIKO, and always happy to talk about what's next. Through Capsor, I work in three ways:
Whether you're hiring a CTO, need a steady hand through a critical phase, or want your team shipping in days instead of weeks, I'd be glad to hear what you're working on.
