Tom Abrahamsen is a seasoned computing specialist and entrepreneur with over four decades of hands-on experience across mainframe and modern systems, currently leading DataMagic as owner and general manager. A pioneer in Norway for third-generation software—introducing Mapper and teaching early courses in Focus, APL, QLP and RPS—he blends deep legacy expertise (Fortran, Simula, assemblers, Univac/Unisys, IBM, CDC) with practical SQL and Python skills. He has built and delivered bespoke systems for maritime and industrial clients, founded an ISP (Netup) and steered customer transitions to national carriers. As a long-time educator and former education manager at Sperry Univac, he brings rare institutional knowledge of real-time systems and teaching experience at the University of Oslo. Notably, his career reflects both product delivery and industry evangelism: introducing technologies to new markets while running companies that turned those innovations into production systems.
