Top SchoolEivind Gamst is a Senior Software Engineer based in Lørenskog, Norway, with an MSc in Electronic Engineering from NTNU and five years of professional experience spanning consulting, web and backend development, embedded systems, FPGA programming, and verification. He combines hardware-rooted rigor—stemming from FPGA and microcontroller work at Kongsberg Spacetec and a master's thesis on verification of heterogeneous cores—with modern software practices used to ship web apps, APIs, and CI/CD at companies like Veyt and Innovation Norway. As a consultant at Ensō he helps bridge product needs and engineering delivery, often owning integrations, auth, and infrastructure for production systems. Eivind is an active contributor to open-source projects in the Wayland ecosystem, adding text-input and input-method support and keyboard handling to the Smithay compositor codebase. His cross-domain fluency lets him translate low-level constraints into robust software interfaces—making him effective in projects that require both silicon-aware thinking and scalable web engineering. Colleagues describe him as a pragmatic problem solver who favors clean, verifiable implementations over brittle shortcuts.
