Tom-olav Bøyum is a Senior Software Engineer based in Oslo with 11 years of experience, currently building front-end applications in TypeScript and React at Ardoq. He pairs a strong academic foundation (M.Sc. in Informatics) with practical full-stack experience from power-grid simulation work at Statnett and performance-focused contributions to the IPython/ipyparallel project. Equally comfortable optimizing back-end client behavior and shipping polished user interfaces, he brings an engineer’s attention to performance and robustness. Outside code he applies an eye for composition from a professional photography background, which informs thoughtful UX and visual clarity in his work.
