Experience
- System design, implementation,
testing, tuning of:
- 2012: Barentswatch: Developing a timeslider user interface with animation for a map oriented national environmental information system in Javascript and SVG
(barentswatch.no)
- 2011: Developing Android apps for
ibooking: Haugesund Aerobic Senter, SiS Sportssenter etc (these apps can be
downloaded for free from Android market)
- 2011: Developing SPOT, a hyperfast, memory based, search engine living inside my own tiny Java portal, inside Tomcat or Jetty.
Used for job search for Scandinavian Personnel
(see http://scandinavianpersonnel.com/search.html).
- 2010: Developing iPhone apps for
ibooking: Friskhuset, Aktiv and for Systemhus (these apps can be
downloaded for free from AppStore)
- 2010: performance tuning of the
iBooking.no database, which has hundreds of thousands of
training center member users in Norway, and which serves
around 200 training centers around Norway 24/7. This Linux based system was
developed and run by SmallSoft, but is now maintained by ibooking as and served by LinPro.
- 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011: More MIMAS
(see below) improvements. The number of users and Telenor's
dependence on the system have increased.
- 2007: Sterling Management
for CompTel. Designed and implemented a redesign of the 300k line
Java project Sterling Management system to improve the system
startup time from several hours to a few seconds, by redesigning
the distribution architecture. The system is a graphical management
solution used to manage a non Java telecommunication mediation
system which performs telecommunication charging, accounting,
mediation and billing for a giant installation at Vimpelcom in
Moscow, which deals with millions of mobile customers.
- 2006: Insourcing of MIMAS
for Telenor Key Partner. MIMAS is a large J2EE solution (around
150k lines) used by around 100 users daily around the end of each
month. The system is used for consolidating accounts between most
Telenor companies in Norway, Sweden and Denmark. The insourcing
ported the system from Telenor's large Vignette based @Work portal
to a much simpler Linux portal solution based on Lacador, a very
stable J2EE portal system made by Prime Partner.
- 2006: Insourcing of TAB
for Telenor Key Partner. Similar insourcing technology as for
MIMAS. Improved stability and regained control of the development
and deployment of the application. Improved performance
significantly for the user, in one occation by 100 times compared
to the Vignette based system (by going from 38 seconds to 0.37
seconds for one request made by an end user). Oracle 9 was used in
both the @work and Lacador based solutions.
- 2005: Several assigments for
TietoEnator related to RoS (se below)
- 2004: Several assigments for
TietoEnator related to RoS.
- 2003: INFOMEDIX RoS,
development, maintenance, and design of new architecture for RoS,
a healthcare system for hospitals which integrates an EPJ
(Electronic Patient Journal) system with various laboratory systems
and radiology systems. The system is in daily use in many hospitals
in Sweden and Norway. RoS is heavily based on XML. It may be viewed
as a health care oriented XML document storage system kernel with a
number of interface gateways specific to each external system. In
this project I worked with Java and C# (and some Visual Basic 6.0).
- 2002: Petra, pair
programmed with Condev AS, a consultancy company to the oil
industry, on the design and implementation of a new input system to
Statoil's Petra, a 100k lines C++ gas, water and oil flow
simulation system which has been in development and commercial use
for many years.
- 2002: Teleradiology,
participated in the first part of a development project where
Oppland Central Hospital and Ullevaal University Hospital
communicates radiologic (X-Ray, NMR, CT) images and XML based
service requests and responses between radiology departments. My
role in the project was primarily to make the XML based radiology
information system on the requester side communicate with the
service provider side using a KITH
defined XML message definition which is currently under
development, and to participate in the definition the replication
oriented protocol used between the radiology information systems
involved. Techology base is Java and JSP.
- 2002: SOAP askkapaks, a
Java only based inhouse telecommunication support system used by
the second largest broad band company in Norway (Catch
Communications of Bodø), now merged into Ventelo.
The JSP (Tomcat323 under Linux MD8.1)
based askkapaks system uses a new SOAP based machine2machine
interface to kapaks, which is Telenor's line and customer database
open to other tele operators in Norway. The system was for many years
used in production every day (and night), and was used behind the
scenes of the web based SDSL coverage query system on the home page
of Catch, and for internal population of the technical information
Catch has for each customer.
- 2001: askkapaks, a Java
only based program which accessed a previous interactive version of
the kapaks system using HTML browser simulation in Java.
- 2001: RECO, a mediation
system (for telecommunication services billing) delivered from 4Tel
in Bodø to VimpelCom in
Moscow. I implemented a module which transforms ASN.1 BER coded
call records for mobile telephony into corresponding call records
used internally in the RECO system. C++.
- 2001: LSD, a PHP +
Postgres based inhouse telecommunication support system used by
Catch. I implemented a general wizard oriented web based system
which is used by all other applications of LSD. The LSD system is
in daily and heavy operational use inside Catch.
- 2001: NOKIA 9210,
experimentation with Java development for Symbian portable
devices, with a focus on Nokia 9210, actually before I got my 9210.
- 2001: Care comm,
prototyping an early system module for Care Communications in
Tromsø.
- 2000: ZAPROXY for
Smallsoft/Catch Communication - a general web based command
interface to a collection of Unix like computers. I designed,
constructed and built this system from the ground up using only
freely available technology: Java servlets, MySQL, cygwin unix
emulator for Windows NT. Being Java based, it can utilize any
Unix/Linux/Windows 95,98,2000,XP,NT(with cygwin) machine and access
MySQL, PostgreSQL, Sybase and Oracle databases through a password
protected web browser (HTML/CSS) interface from the internet. The
commands of the system are represented in a programming language
designed by me for this purpose. The complete technology is under
Smallsoft control, but may one day turn open source. The
application of this basic technology has been for a range of
telecommunication support systems (customer support, network
management, customer coverage analysis, logistics, statistics,
charging etc) for Catch Communication. These systems are no longer
in daily use. The zaproxy system is currently not under active
development, but the technology is still available inside
Smallsoft, and may one day be used for similar projects.
- 1999: TAD - a music CD
artist+title matching system developed for the Miami based MSI
Music company - in C, Sybase SQL, and Power Dynamo (a web
interface to Sybase.) Around 8000 lines of fairly complex Sybase
SQL code.
- 1998: A1338 for
Telenor/Alcatel (high performance telecommunication CDR storage
facility) in C++. One of my contributions was a very fast
compiler/interpreter for predicate evaluation (150 000 call record tuples
evaluated per second).
- 1998: Smallsoft,
implemented our pathetically looking, but still highly effective
home page at www.smallsoft.com,
hand crafted in HTML.
- 1998: RECO for
Telenor/Alcatel (similar to SENTAKS (see below), but for systems
outside of Norway).
- 1997: WebGUI for
Telenor/Alcatel (a Java servlet based SQL engine for access to
control files used in SENTAKS/RECO)
- 1990: STAR for Telenor
(Design of shellscript/Sybase based system for international
traffic payment settling between Telenor and foreign operators)
- 1989-1996: SENTAKS for
Telnor (the main telecommunication charging system used in Norway)
in C. My main contribution apart from general design input was a
very fast caching mechanism used for runtime access to control
tables used when processing the call details records which are used
to make telephone bills. This cache system is still in
around-the-clock operation in several countries.
- Programming (+testing +debugging)
in many programming languages:
- Current extensive experience in
Java (including servlets, portlets and graphics), Objective-C, XML, C,
C++, bourne sh/bash programming, MySQL SQL, Javascript,
HTML5, HTML, CSS style sheets, JSP
- Some current experience in

lot at the time...)
Online web server maintenance
- Since June 2003, Smallsoft Tromsø (i.e. my server park in my engine room) has been the host of
all climatic road datas for the North of Norway
for Statens Vegvesen. Around every half hour, new data has been provided by Smallsoft,
and every day thousands of requests have been served by Smallsoft in Tromsø 24/7.
This has taught me a lot about Linux server performance and uptimes (generally impressing), network service uptimes (better than most web hotels?),
and keeping hundreds of gigabytes online.

(too) extensive experience in how to install, configure, debug and
revive old and new PC hardware (motherboards, disks, sound cards,
scsi cards, screen cards, cdroms, BIOS) with a plethora of auxillary
equipment (PCMCIA cards, modems, scanners, printers, cameras,
synths, sound mixers, cdroms) as well as a 10/100/1000 Mbit
Ethernet.
Electronics: worked several summers as an electronics worker
at Ulla Førre (North Europe's largest hydro electric power plant, found in my home county),
during the construction of Ulla Førre, mainly with
installing telephone cables and mobile radio transmitters and
receivers. Worked two summers in a radio/TV repair shop. Apart from
this, I have worked with electronics (building and constructing
computers and musical synthesizers etc) as a hobby until around
1990. I have an electronics lab, and still power up the soldering
iron from time to time.
