Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSimon Kokkendorff is a developer with a PhD in mathematics and 12 years of hands-on software experience building data-driven systems for government and media organizations. He has deep domain experience in geospatial data, height models and coordinate transformations from roles at the Danish Geodata Agency, DMI and Forsvarets Center for Operativ Oceanografi, and has applied that expertise to practical production systems. His background in academic research informs a methodical approach to complex data analysis and numerical problems, while his industry work shows he can translate those insights into reliable software. Notably, he blends scientific rigor with playful curiosity—his spare-time project geoboxers.com hints at an appetite for exploratory, user-facing tools beyond core systems. Based in Copenhagen, he brings a pragmatic mix of research pedigree and production development to multidisciplinary teams.
