Ole-Kenneth Bratholt is a Lead Software Engineer with 15 years of experience building and guiding teams behind some of Norway’s largest digital platforms, now leading engineering at Telenor. He blends hands-on full-stack development with people leadership, improving technical designs while coaching colleagues and shaping team practices. His open-source contributions span pragmatic fixes and UX improvements—from refining MJPEG streaming and async handling in a self-hosted AI NVR to hardening client-side logic in a GitHub Pages URL shortener and enhancing a Whisper-as-a-Service editor. A polyglot tinkerer who taught himself Python, Swift, Objective-C and Android development, he is currently learning Go and exploring Rust. Outside work he runs a cross-platform traffic app, Stengt tunnel, and even reverse-engineers his home automation lighting, showing a rare mix of product focus and low-level curiosity.
