Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAndreas Larsen is a pragmatic CTO with 14+ years on the Microsoft stack, leading product and engineering teams to build consumer and B2B services—from sports motion-analysis tools to national healthcare systems and a booking platform for home cleaning. He combines hands-on full‑stack development (.NET, Azure, web, desktop, mobile) with commercial product sense, favoring “good enough” pragmatic solutions that ship. Andreas has repeatedly moved from developer to technical lead roles, currently steering Vaskehjelp and Salto Renhold while maintaining open-source involvement in widely used projects like UnitsNet and contributing robust test coverage to MoreLINQ. His strengths include improving build and release pipelines, test automation, and turning sensor-driven data into usable products. Based in Verdalsøra, Norway, he balances engineering rigor with a tinkerer’s curiosity—dabbles in VR/game development and still practices the ollie.
