Summary
Cuan Lategan is a Senior Software Engineer based in Oslo with a decade of experience building full-stack, microservice-driven systems using Java, TypeScript and Kotlin. He brings a pragmatic engineering approach shaped by earlier work as an industrial automation electrician, where he learned to solve complex system problems under tight deadlines and in close team settings. Over the past years he progressed through R&D roles into senior engineering positions at Appear and now DNB, owning both hands-on delivery and technical leadership. Comfortable across backend and frontend boundaries, he focuses on reliable, maintainable architectures that scale for production. He pairs formal computer science training with practical electrical trade experience, giving him unusual depth when integrating software with hardware-constrained or real-time systems. Colleagues describe him as a steady problem-solver who elevates team practices as much as code quality.
