Summary
Olav Hermansen is a senior consultant and software developer based in Oslo with 12 years of experience delivering pragmatic Java and web solutions across consulting and utility sectors. At Knowit Dataess he focuses on "slowification, simplification and amplification," emphasizing thoughtful, maintainable systems rather than rapid complexity. His background spans enterprise projects at Statnett and EVRY, product-facing work for small companies, and teaching roles in Android, .NET and game development—reflecting both hands-on engineering and mentoring strengths. Comfortable across Java, PHP, JavaScript and full-stack web/mobile stacks, he brings a bias for practical implementations shaped by real-world operations and event leadership. A candidate who pairs academic study in computer science with long-term client engagements, he often prefers clear, durable designs over flashy short-term optimizations.
