Håvard Pedersen is a senior engineer with 12 years of professional experience who blends backend development, integrations and web services with a growing focus on information security, privacy, risk management and compliance at the Norwegian Directorate for Higher Education and Skills. He began as a full‑stack developer and has steadily migrated toward infosec and privacy while maintaining hands‑on skills in Linux-based system administration and service integrations. Founder of small development firms and an early contributor to Drupal projects, he brings both entrepreneurial pragmatism and open-source collaboration experience to institutional software challenges. He also serves as a union representative for NITO, reflecting a strong interest in labour law and people-focused governance alongside technical work. Currently studying cybersecurity culture, he pairs formal study in security and HR/labour law with practical experience delivering auditable, privacy-conscious systems. Based in Tromsø, he’s the kind of engineer who started coding at nine and now translates that lifelong curiosity into secure, production-ready services.
