Summary
Øivind Hoel is a Senior Engineer with 11 years of experience designing and operating cloud-native infrastructure, currently shaping architecture and shared services at Sikt and Uninett from Trondheim. He specializes in Kubernetes, Docker, Linux, cross-platform automation (advanced PowerShell), and observability stacks, with hands-on experience building cloud-agnostic SaaS platforms and end-to-end deployment pipelines. Comfortable moving between low-level kubelet concerns and high-level service meshes, he pairs deep technical rigor with a pragmatic focus on shipping working solutions. Colleagues rely on him to stabilize legacy systems, translate between ops and dev teams, and drive clear, documented infrastructure designs. Outside the code he balances curiosity for philosophy and people with a relaxed, collaborative style — and, not obviously, credits being a dedicated father of four as a masterclass in systems thinking and prioritization.
