Summary
🤩
RockstarStian Eikeland is a senior consultant based in Bergen, Norway with 14 years of software engineering experience spanning embedded systems, DevOps tooling, and package maintenance. He combines hands‑on IoT work—authoring a popular Go Raspberry Pi GPIO library—with practical infrastructure contributions as a long‑time Homebrew formula maintainer, keeping dozens of packages up to date. At the Institute of Marine Research he applies pragmatic engineering to production problems, bridging low‑level hardware control and higher‑level deployment concerns. Known for steady, detail‑oriented contributions, he brings a maker’s curiosity (and a fondness for coffee and wet weather) to deliver reliable, well-documented solutions.
