Oddbjørn Grødem is a firmware-focused software engineer with five years of experience building full-stack systems and open-source libraries, primarily in Rust and TypeScript. He blends backend and DevOps skills—having automated deployments and CI for shuttle—and has contributed notable improvements to hyper, simplifying TCP handling and re-enabling benchmarks in a widely used Rust HTTP library. Now exploring embedded development in C at InVivo Bionics, he brings cloud infrastructure expertise with AWS and Terraform to low-level, resource-constrained projects. Pragmatic and detail-oriented, he favors performance-minded refactors and clean documentation, evidenced by his work removing legacy components and streamlining features. Based in Oslo, he projects a strong trajectory from cloud-native backend engineering toward applied firmware and embedded systems.
