Software architect, ICT integrations, applied AI - Finland
Viktor Sundberg - CV
Profile
Software architect with an unusual route in: a decade in vehicle systems, five years of hands-on port and terminal operations - stevedore, crane operator, supervisor - then IT management and full-time software. I build logistics and infrastructure systems from first principles, and I’ve driven the machines that logistics software schedules. I now hold two leadership positions: ICT Integrations Manager at a container terminal, where I’m also responsible for equipment maintenance, and co-founder and CEO of GoSoft, where I’ve taken applied AI from prototype to production. I follow AI developments closely.
Current
ICT Integrations Manager (contract) - greenfield deep-water container terminal, client under NDA
Built the terminal’s ICT from the ground up as its first, and through the build phase its only, ICT lead: network and server infrastructure, CCTV and access control, an ISO 27001-aligned ISMS, email security, incident response and custom software. A dedicated IT manager now runs day-to-day IT; the role focuses on integrations: the terminal operating system (TOS), the ERP, and the systems and data flows between them. Leading TOS and ERP procurement (requirements, RFIs, vendor shortlisting, contract terms); reporting to senior management, with a weekly CEO-level IT reporting workbook I built. Also responsible for maintenance of the heavy-equipment fleet: the container-handler maintenance programme, the workshop (my design: container-based, with an inspection pit), digitising the spare parts inventory, and maintenance contractors.
Co-founder & CEO - GoSoft Oy
Finnish B2B SaaS. Running the business side: pricing, partner channels, contracts and data processing agreements. Designed and built Gosoft Connect solo, from prototype to production: embeddable widgets with an AI assistant that answers from each customer’s documents through tool calls and hybrid retrieval; self-hosted embedding and reranking models; an evaluation suite that chooses models and gates regressions. AI agents in our own development and daily work; custom software for ~50 client businesses.
Independent consultant (sole entrepreneur)
Consulting on ICT infrastructure, security and applied AI for ports, logistics and industry.
Experience
Full-stack Developer - Groweo Oy, Helsinki (B2B SaaS, remote)
First Finland-based engineer in a distributed team (engineering in India, data architecture in San Francisco). Designed and built a new digital-marketing product end to end.
Reach Stacker Specialist / IT Executive - Wasco Coatings LLC, Qatar
Concrete weight coating plant for offshore oil and gas pipelines, part of the listed Wasco group. Joined to train heavy-equipment operators as the plant came up, moved into logistics coordination, then hired permanently to run IT. Ran the IT budget and vendor contracts; built and maintained the plant’s IT infrastructure - servers and networking.
Port & terminal operations - Hangö Stevedoring (now Euroports Hanko), Multi-Link Terminals, Adolf Lahti Yxpila (KWH Logistics), Finland
Stevedore, machine operator, and supervisor across three Finnish ports. Most of it on Nord Stream 2 pipe logistics - two 1,230 km gas pipelines across the Baltic, roughly 200,000 concrete-coated joints staged through Finnish ports for the lay vessels: ~1,000 hours operating container handlers, terminal tractors, and a Liebherr LHM 550 mobile harbour crane - 25-tonne concrete-coated gas-pipe sections with effectively zero error tolerance; trained new machine operators; supervised a crew of 35 on a client side-project. Later recruited to Qatar by that client, Wasco Coatings.
Among the group of key people who guaranteed the success of the project.
Vehicle Systems Installer & Developer - Assistor Oy Ab, Vantaa (Veho Group - vehicle logistics)
Ten years of electrical and mechanical installation across passenger and commercial vehicles at Veho’s vehicle logistics arm. Held employee trust roles and sat in the company’s management group. Helped specify and build Assistor’s new internal operations system - the first time I built software for an operation I was working inside.
