Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolHåkon Malmedal is an engineer with a sivilingeniør degree in physics and mathematics (2001) and 13 years of professional experience applying statistical and analytical methods across public sector, energy, and engineering domains. He is known for precise, methodical work and strong collaboration skills, having served as an external examiner in mathematics and contributed to technical publications and textbook proofreading. In open source he has applied his localization and data-analysis skills to projects like the widely used biblatex (localizing bibliography strings to Bokmål and Nynorsk) and the engsoccerdata dataset, where he developed functions for historical soccer statistics and visualization. Comfortable working independently or in teams, he combines deep quantitative training with practical IT competence and fluent English. A detail-oriented problem solver, he brings a track record of turning complex numerical requirements into reliable, well-documented results.

Localization / Internationalization SpecialistContributions:7 commits in 2 years
Contributions summary:Håkon primarily contributed to the localization efforts of the biblatex project. Their work involved translating various strings related to bibliography entries and other elements into Norwegian (Bokmål and Nynorsk), including labels for different roles (e.g., editor, translator) and other key terms used in bibliographies. They also addressed a typo and updated translations for prepublished entries and other specific fields. Furthermore, the user incorporated translations for Catalan and Czech languages.
