Senior🎓
Top SchoolJan Jensen is a senior engineer and product owner at Statens vegvesen with 11+ years building and maintaining geographic and road-data services powered by the Norwegian National Road Database (NVDB). He blends deep domain expertise in meteorology and geodata with hands-on data engineering—authoring and maintaining an open-source Python/Pandas NVDB integration used across public-sector tooling. Known as an OGC evangelist and former weather forecaster, Jan champions open data, pragmatic automation, and agile team practices that amplify cross-disciplinary collaboration. He excels at turning complex spatial datasets into reliable services and analyses, and often dives into specialized data processing when production problems demand it. A Trondheim-based innovator, he pairs curiosity about tooling with a bureaucrat’s sense for operational robustness.
