Summary
Kent Dahl is a seasoned software engineer and entrepreneur based in Bergen, Norway, with 13 years of professional experience building production systems across Ruby/Rails, PHP, C++ and emerging Elixir projects. He runs his own consultancy, Rubendahl Consulting AS, blending hands-on development with management and delivery consulting for web and VOD platforms, and previously led technical efforts at Sixty on a large-scale video-on-demand service. A long-time Linux advocate and recovering C++ developer, Kent brings systems-level thinking from embedded and real-time maritime control work to modern web architectures. His background in industrial economics, financial economics and teacher training gives him a pragmatic, analytical approach to product and team leadership that favors clear delivery and maintainable code. Notably comfortable switching between deep technical implementation and client-facing management, he’s equally at home shipping Ruby gems as he is architecting resilient backend services.
