Håvard Langdal is a Senior Software Engineer with a decade of experience building scalable backend and distributed systems, currently working on databases, graph databases, and information retrieval at Microsoft. He brings practical expertise across C#, ASP.NET, Azure, TypeScript, Node.js, React, PostgreSQL, Firebase and Google Cloud, with a particular affinity for backend engineering, performance optimization and ingestion/consistency challenges. His work spans large-scale search and feed relevance systems powering Microsoft experiences, plus hands-on contributions to open-source tooling such as UI and UX improvements for the popular Sentinl Kibana alerts app. Equally curious about data warehousing, mining and streaming (Spark, Flink), he combines production service maintenance and A/B experimentation with an interest in operational excellence and DevOps. Based in Giske, Norway, he pairs rigorous academic training (NTNU, MSc Computer Science) with a background in high-activity team environments—from startup greenfield work to military service—informing a pragmatic, resilient engineering style.
