Ole Birkedal is a senior software engineering manager in Oslo with 14 years of experience building high-throughput systems, currently leading development of Sportradar’s streaming platform that processes over a thousand live matches daily. With a background in computer vision, game engine development and a master’s in mathematics (cryptography by education), he blends rigorous algorithmic thinking with pragmatic engineering. A hands-on leader who prefers modern C++ for production work, he experiments with Elixir for fun and Go for “madness,” reflecting a taste for both reliability and concurrency-oriented languages. His career spans embedded and simulation systems to large-scale streaming, giving him a rare mix of low-level systems expertise and operational leadership.
