Jon Arild Tørresdal’s Experience

  • Leader

    Norwegian .Net User Group in Bergen

    (Non-Profit; Computer Software industry)

    January 2007Present (1 year 5 months)

    NNUG Bergen is a non profit organization for developers and architects to share common knowledge. My main responsibility as a leader is to find speakers and topics of interest every month, have tight communication with Microsoft Norway and promote NNUG as a technical user forum in Bergen.

  • Chief Architect

    CMA Contiki AS

    (Computer Software industry)

    April 2004Present (4 years 2 months)

    When I first started to work for CMA Contiki our task was to migrate their existing product, Contiki ECM, from Delphi to .Net. I was the only one with .Net experience on the team, so my first task was to get the team up and running on .Net. Later on I did more and more architecture and my current position is Chief Architect. I have also introduced Scrum to Contiki which we are now running very successfully with 2 internal teams and one offshore team. In addition to architecture my main role has always been to keep track of new technologies, tools and development patterns and introduce these to the team. Lately I've also taken quite a lot of project responsibility and have been managing a team of 12 developers.
