I am a manager at BEKK Consulting, Oslo Norway. Currently, I am engaged as a system developer for a project at a large postal and logistics services company. I am a coder and language enthusiast, and also have a great interest for agile methods and XP. I always strive for simplicity and elegance when writing code. Even though being a tech-head, my primary driver is the end-user, technology secondary.
Most of my technological experience is with Java and related tools, but I am very fascinated by functional languages such as Scala and Clojure. What I learn from studying alternative languages influence my Java-programming in a positive way.
