Top SchoolCody Olsen is a Principal Software Engineer based in Oslo with 16 years of experience building polished, user-focused web applications and developer tooling. He specializes in JavaScript ecosystems—Node.js, React, GraphQL and TypeScript—while bringing a graphic-design background that shapes elegant, usable UIs and a genuine enthusiasm for CSS. At Sanity he’s advanced both studio internals and Next.js integrations, contributing performance-improving fixes and ESM/JSX support to widely used open-source projects like Sanity and Next.js. Cody maintains npm packages and improves tooling (Babel, Jest, typings), demonstrating a blend of full‑stack polish and infrastructure hygiene. He’s equally comfortable shipping front-end accessibility enhancements and refactoring testing/linting workflows, and still codes daily to stay current in a fast-moving landscape.
