Summary

Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolBjarne Øverli is a pragmatic technology leader and CTO with 12 years of experience building and operating scalable web and cloud platforms from newsroom realtime systems to internal developer platforms. He has led engineering teams at major media groups like Schibsted and VG, shipped breaking-news realtime services used across Norway and Sweden, and recently focused on developer experience, Kubernetes/EKS, and CI/CD security hardening. Comfortable both as a hands-on full-stack developer and an architect, he still treats GitHub as his sandbox—refactoring and improving codebases (including realtime Socket.IO projects) to raise clarity and efficiency. Based in Lillehammer, he combines product-minded leadership with deep operational knowledge of AWS, GCP, and deployment pipelines, often bridging engineering, security and delivery.
