Håkon Hagen is a pragmatic software engineer with 11 years of experience building web applications across front-end and full-stack roles, currently contributing at Knowit in Oslo. He combines strong React, Next.js and Node.js skills with a background in interaction design from NITH, enabling him to bridge UX thinking and scalable implementation. His career spans media and product-focused teams—most notably seven years at Aller Media—where he shipped customer-facing features and backend integrations using SQL/MySQL. Comfortable iterating from prototypes to production, he often brings design-driven improvements that reduce friction for users and teams alike. Håkon’s profile suggests a steady commitment to craft and user-centered engineering rather than flashy open-source visibility.
