2. Career:
I studied at the Tietgenskolen in Odense to be a Datamatician in 1998 and Since then I have
been working in IT-related positions. As Systems Responsible for planning systems and ERP-
system on the Odense Steel Ship Yard through some years during my employment at Mærsk
Data and IBM, a job that covered databases, software development and maintenance as well
as systems administration. From 2005 until start of 2015, I have worked free lance, mostly
developing and configuring passenger information systems for public transportation on
embedded platforms. 2015 has largely been committed to learning Elasticsearch.
2015 Rigsarkivet
Creating software to allow feeding large amounts of archive data
and metadata through a funnel for enriching the data for
increased findability. Fast.
Using elasticsearch, python and debian packaging
2014 Focon A/S
Various tasks but most notably the version control of type testing
software used across the world by subcontractors – a quick
solution that had crucial value in terms of traceability
Using subversion, svnsync and python
2010-2015 Focon A/S
Development of embedded infotainment systems for trains.
I have worked in
1) the clients (video capable infotainment displays with or
without embedded browser technology) and
2) the servers (small footprint linux servers with video streaming
capabilities).
3)the deployment – how to update in the field, burn the images
into the hardware – all with the help of debian packages.
I have designed the solutions, using up to date open source
technologies. I have also been the main developer doing most of
the work on these systems.
The solutions incorporate technologies like
HTML, Python, C/C++, HTTP live streaming, UDP streaming,
dpkg
2009-2010 Focon A/S

2009 Focon A/S
Adaptation of standard software for train information displays
(LED)
Same software in different display types, different sizes and
multi colored displays.
I adapted the display handling module to handle triple RGB
LEDS.
Using C, C++, Python, Gnu tools
2008 Focon A/S
Development of new standard software for train information
displays.
My task was to design and program modules for screen and font
handling operations, scrolling fields and different types of
communications and test software.
Using C, C++, Python, Gnu tools

and Postfix)
I have designed deployment procedures and initiated the
separation into 3 environments, test, development and
production.

Shell scripts.
2005-2007 Odense Steel Shipyard

I trained 6 new employees to maintain the ERP and planning
systems
The training formed a stepwise takeover of the ownership of the
systems and ongoing tasks, gradually reducing my responsibility
and leadership

at providing practical ‘workhorses’ to the industry through an
education balanced between theory and practical excercises.
My final speciality was that of control and measurement.
1990-1998 Working steel construction / taking extra courses
This period I worked in steel construction as well as taking some
extra math, chemistry and physics courses to facilitate further
education
1987-1990 Smith (Steel Constructor / Ship Builder ) training
I trained for a Smith/Steel Constructor at Svendborg Steel Ship
