Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSveinung Himle is a senior software engineer and geodesist with over two decades of experience in photogrammetry, geodesy, GIS and metrology, currently contributing to the Norwegian Mapping Authority. He brings deep numerical expertise—least squares, Kalman filtering and spatial transformations—combined with practical C/C++/C#/VB.net development for LIDAR, satellite geodesy and Hexagon GeoMedia integrations. His background spans industry roles from processing engineer to GIS consultant and developer, giving him a rare mix of algorithmic rigor and production mapping systems experience. Based in Hønefoss, Norway, he pairs a Master’s in Photogrammetry, Geodesy and Statistics with hands-on WPF/CAD and inertial navigation work, often turning complex sensor fusion problems into reliable software. An understated strength is his long track record of bridging research-grade numeric methods with pragmatic engineering in national-scale geospatial projects.
