Varun Kumar is a software developer based in Oslo with 9 years of hands-on experience building user-centric web and mobile applications, especially data visualizations and interactive frontends.

Varun’s work blends practical product thinking with research roots (ML and circadian rhythm projects) and a track record of improving usability through small but impactful UI fixes and security- and GDPR-focused implementations.
