Top SchoolAleksander Burkow is a Norway-based software developer and co-founder with 13 years of hands-on experience building web, telco, and ML-driven solutions. As a co-founder at Hyre AS and formerly a strategic engineer at Telenor, he blends startup pragmatism with research-grade technical depth from a Master's in Computer Science at NTNU. He has a strong background in web systems and teaching programming (C++ and Python), and has a history of shipping practical tooling from student society platforms to mobile-friendly geodata viewers. Outside conventional profiles he’s active in the demoscene and maintains a single personal hub (burkow.no) that chronicles projects and experiments he stopped listing on LinkedIn. This mix of entrepreneurial grit, academic grounding, and creative underground hacking gives him a broad, unconventional approach to solving technical problems.
