Senior🎓
Top SchoolTorkild Olsen is a seasoned entrepreneur and CTO with 15 years of experience turning product ideas into production-grade full‑stack web applications. He has co-founded and led technical strategy for multiple startups in Oslo, consistently owning systems architecture and hands‑on development across TypeScript, Vue.js, NestJS, GraphQL, Kotlin, EdgeDB and relational databases. Comfortable balancing engineering quality with business constraints, he excels at pragmatic tradeoffs that speed time‑to‑market for customer‑facing platforms such as digital signage, e‑commerce and CRM systems. Torkild frequently operates at the intersection of devops and application development, using Docker and Ansible to streamline deployment and scaling. A self-described technophile who “frequents the fringes of tech,” he currently favors TypeScript and EdgeDB and brings a founder’s appetite for shipping products that solve real operational problems.
