Summary
Ole Hansen is a seasoned senior consultant and software engineer with over three decades of experience building mission-critical systems across meteorology, space, aerospace and finance. He combines deep hands-on expertise in legacy and modern languages (C/C++, Fortran, Java, Python, Go, Lisp) with proven delivery of large heterogeneous operational systems, real-time processing and GUI work for control-room environments. A PhD in image processing underpins his strengths in algorithm development for remote sensing and velocity estimation, while long stints as technical coordinator and team lead demonstrate his ability to bridge technical, scientific and managerial concerns. Based in Heidelberg, he now focuses on part-time, fixed-term or freelance engagements and brings a pragmatic process-oriented approach aimed at producing mature, operationally usable products on time. An often-overlooked asset is his extensive experience maintaining and migrating complex legacy systems across Denmark and Germany, which makes him especially effective in modernizing critical infrastructure.
