Senior🎓
Top SchoolMaiken Pedersen is a Senior Engineer in Oslo with nine years of experience building middleware for the Worldwide LHC Grid, combining a PhD in experimental particle physics with hands-on software craftsmanship. She brings deep expertise in C++ and Python from analyzing ATLAS collision data at CERN and applies the same precision and aesthetic sense from her earlier career as a cabinetmaker to designing efficient, maintainable systems. At UiO/USIT she develops ARC middleware that supports large-scale scientific computing, focusing on minimizing redundancy and streamlining workflows. Maiken’s background as a teacher also helps her communicate complex technical concepts clearly across teams. Equally at home in low-level code and in the workshop, she takes pride in creating reliable products that work as intended.
