Ole-andré Rodlie is a Full Stack Engineer and former graphics/motion designer with eight years of professional software experience, currently contributing to NettStudio AS and KSU.NO from Møre og Romsdal, Norway. He blends visual design sensibilities with deep systems and application engineering skills across C/C++/Qt, Python, Ruby, PHP and modern web stacks, and brings long experience in UNIX/BSD/Linux administration. A pragmatic open-source contributor, he has improved core desktop and compositing projects—notably adding features and stability fixes to the Lumina desktop and strengthening Natron’s rendering and scheduling engine. His background as an art director and motion graphics practitioner gives him a distinctive ability to bridge user-facing UX/visual concerns with robust backend implementations. Known on GitHub as a “pixel pusher and code monkey,” he frequently tackles low-level bugs, build/test tooling, and cross-platform integration work that many engineers avoid. That combination of creative craft and systems-level rigor makes him effective at shipping polished, dependable software across GUI, server and tooling domains.
