Hello! I’m Leif, a Norwegian dude living in Oslo.
I’ve worked in game development for ~6 years, as a developer/technical project manager on the technology team, creating a proprietary game engine for massively multiplayer online games.
Then I had a short ~2,5 year stint as a technical project manager/advisor for banks and financial institutions, mostly working on back-office systems and online banking portals.
Since 2015, I have been working as a digital business developer for the largest electronics retailer in the Nordics; trying to close the gap between physical retail stores and online sales channels.
Throughout my career, I have never worked as a full-time programmer, but I have been an avid hobbyist, learning a new language each year (after reading The Pragmatic Programmer).
As for hobbies, I’m learning Japanese and I enjoy playing Shōgi (Japanese chess). I also enjoy reading, and I have been a technical book reviewer for various authors, via Pragprog, O’Reilly and others.
I’m looking forward to learning more about Elixir (and Erlang) and getting to know you. I would also be interested in meeting friendly people with similar interests in Oslo, Norway.
See you around!
