Resume
Niclas Lindstedt
IT Architect
Today I work as an IT architect at BookBeat, and on the side I build a small family of open-source CLIs — zag, zig, zad, and ztf — that make AI coding agents easier to orchestrate, sandbox, test, and connect to existing engineering workflows. They came out of working with agentic development professionally and running into the same gaps over and over: provider lock-in, brittle prompts, undebuggable multi-agent runs. The next step is taking these CLIs from personal tooling to something engineering teams can adopt end-to-end — production-ready packaging, documentation, integrations, and support so spec-driven agentic coding fits into existing git, CI, and oncall workflows without surprises.

Education
Information Systems
Aug 2014 – Jun 2017Skipped the bachelor's thesis since I already held two relevant industry jobs in the field.
Medicine
Jan 2010 – Apr 2014Decided to pivot away from medicine after studying clinical medicine and seeing first-hand how rough the IT systems were that healthcare professionals had to use every day. That experience set me on the path toward information systems.
