Summary
Anders Aagaard is a Principal Engineer based in Oslo with 16 years of experience building production-grade systems spanning Linux infrastructure, mobile and frontend apps, backend APIs, data pipelines and machine learning. He has led architecture and delivery at scale—most recently at Nansen and previously as Head of Architecture at Adevinta—while shipping hundreds of backend services and several high-traffic consumer apps in Norway. Anders combines hands-on engineering (from Linux servers to ML models) with organizational strategy, helping define technical direction and shaping teams to execute it. He has an entrepreneurial streak, having started and sold two companies, and routinely builds side projects in Vue/React that have turned into paid products. Less obvious: his background straddles deep systems work and product-facing frontend/mobile delivery, giving him rare fluency in both low-level operational concerns and user-facing architecture. Colleagues describe him as a pragmatic technical leader who mentors teams to move complex ML and data products into production.
