The author
My name is Robert Nordan and I’m an engineer. I studied at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, doing Engineering Science & ICT with a specialisation in geomatics. After that I went on to spend ten years doing a lot of different things at Norkart AS, Norway’s leading company in the field of Geographic Information Systems.
These days I work as a consultant for Sopra Steria doing a variety of interesting work with our clients as a solutions architect, scrum master, project manager and all around hands-on doer. I enjoy good DevOps practices and like constructing cloud services.
I’m also very enthusiastic about open source software and free licensing, and I’ve written several add-ins and contributed features to both Tomboy Notes and LeafletJS.
Personally, I enjoy mucking about with all sorts of computers and gadgets, playing computer games, and running around in the woods being an outdoorsman. I have a girlfriend fiancé wife wife and kids whom I love very much, I will happily walk up to and attempt to pet any dog I see for the first time, and I’m generally quite pleased to be living in a country as good as Norway.
