Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolBernt Damslora is an R&D engineer based in Trondheim with 7 years of embedded systems experience, currently developing IoT and sensor solutions at Nordic Semiconductor. He brings deep hands-on expertise with nRF Connect SDK, having improved the asset tracker UI, sensor data pipelines, and the nrf9160_gps driver while fixing memory leaks and tightening hardware interfaces. His background blends academic teaching in embedded systems and practical robotics work—from SLAM and UAV platforms at FFI to building sensor-driven control systems and wireless firmware prototypes. Formerly a CTO of a startup, he pairs product-minded leadership with low-level C and device-tree knowledge, and often bridges firmware, hardware, and UX considerations in constrained systems. Colleagues rely on him for pragmatic debugging and for turning complex sensor data into reliable, production-ready features.
