Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolFinn Gundersen is a pragmatic CTO and functional-programming evangelist with 12+ years of hands-on experience leading engineering teams, negotiating contracts, and steering failing projects back on course. Based in Stavanger, he blends system architecture, technical due diligence and IT security/compliance expertise with a talent for translating non-technical client needs into implementable solutions. He’s contributed back-end improvements to the IHP web framework—enhancing PostgreSQL query capabilities—demonstrating a continued commitment to type-safe, maintainable systems. A longtime technical leader since the 1990s with formal training from NTNU and further studies in security, management and law, Finn pairs deep legacy experience with modern practices and a knack for pragmatic problem solving (and occasional dad-jokes).
