I am a mid-life-crisis aged Norwegian in Kiama outside Wollongong, Australia. I've been working in the computer industry as a coffee drinker for over 30 years, spanning from AI, user interfaces, motion detection, digital video, security and web standards, to GIS, deep API integration and ontology-based plugin architectures. Three kids, a lovely wife, the best doggie in the world, and an untuned piano fills the rest of my life with meaning.

I do geospatial information systems at 4DMapper and I always promote Topic Maps, XSLT and various incarnations of XML, and push semantic technologies everywhere. I like functional and declarative programming (don't confuse it with imperative programming). I play drums. I'm also writing a book. I sometimes even find time to work.

Also, all my profile belongs to us.
