Steen Brahe
Entrepreneur | PhD | AI/ML | ex-AWS
I’m an entrepreneur, innovator, and technology enthusiast with over 20 years of experience in software product management, architecture, and development. My passion lies in solving real-world problems through experimentation, proof of concepts, and rapid iteration with user feedback.
In 2014, I founded a startup focused on automated mainframe testing, where I led architecture, development, and presales. Together with a partner, we successfully brought the product to market, secured a partnership with IBM, and were later acquired by Compuware. There, I transitioned into product management, leading the merge of competing products into a market-leading mainframe test automation solution.
After my startup journey, I joined AWS, where for the past three years, I’ve worked with startup customers, advising them on how to leverage AI/ML and Generative AI in their products.
I thrive at the intersection of business and technology, combining deep technical expertise with strong communication skills. Whether engaging with C-level executives, technical specialists, or customers, I enjoy understanding challenges and presenting innovative solutions. My technical background spans a wide range of technologies, including Java, NodeJS, JavaScript, TypeScript, Angular, Linux, DevOps, and cloud architecture.
Beyond work, I believe in lifelong learning and embracing new challenges. I’m also a family man, married to Helena, and together we have three amazing kids. We love staying active, whether through sports or creative activities.
This blog is my way of sharing my next startup journey with you—openly, transparently, and with the goal of learning together. Join me as I navigate the path from idea to product, and let’s innovate together!
