Summary
Simen Russnes is a Senior Full Stack Developer and independent consultant based in Oslo with over a decade of hands-on experience building web, cloud and bioinformatics systems. He blends full stack expertise (Python, Django, React, Rust) with DevOps and cloud (AWS/Azure) experience, and has led architecture and large-scale data pipelines for gut microbiome profiling. As CTO of Leii AS and Senior Developer at Modularity AS he balances technical leadership with day-to-day delivery, drawing on prior roles from DHIS2 Android work to freelance system design. His background in both informatics and molecular biology gives him a rare ability to translate complex biological questions into robust, production-ready software. Colleagues know him for pragmatic problem solving—and a dry sense of humor evident in a GitHub bio that reads “Don't kernel panic.”
