Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKjell-olov Högdahl is a software engineer and R&D leader with nine years of documented experience and two decades of deep domain work in card payment systems, EMV certification, and embedded terminal software. As founder and Head of R&D at The ITfied AB and former Senior Expert at Swedbank, he authored Swedbank’s integrated EMV terminal requirements, architected their test and certification process, and built the C++ test tool used for certification. He combines low-level C/C++ and Java engineering with requirement specification, CMS/process design, and hands-on test automation—bridging technical implementation and business-facing requirements. A longtime community builder, he co-founded Sweden C++ and has repeatedly turned complex payment specs into practical, auditable solutions. Less obvious: he has led platform migrations and tooling (Windows 7 to 10, build/test emulators) that reduced manual certification effort while preserving regulatory compliance. Based in Stockholm, he favors pragmatic, specification-driven engineering in highly regulated payment environments.
