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.

At NTC I was working in-house on product development and as a consultant. As a consultant I worked for Norges Sildesalgslag and EDB4Tel. At Norges Sildesalgslag I was mainly responsible for developing their intranet and extranet solutions using Asp.Net, C#, VB.net, Asp and VB6. My role at EDB4Tel was to develop the front end of an order management system in Java. I was part of a team of about 6 developers.
When doing product development in-house I usually was team lead on the projects I where involved in. Some of the application types I did was a customer/sales web application for Enter Forsikring using Asp.net, an insurance application for Forbrukerforsikring AS in C#, a sales/CRM application for NetFinans using VB6 and a web portal for Atento using ASP to mention a few.
