In Derdubor AS I worked as a senior software engineer. I worked with both search engine management and software development.
I worked with all the stages in a software development run, from design and requirement specifications to implementation and testing. Derdubor has standardised on Java and PHP as the core development languages. Most of the development was done inhouse, and the software development consisted of enhancing our web application, the CRM and develop new applications.
Since Derdubor is kind of a local version of the yellow pages they have a strong focus on search and search engines. Derdubor uses both commercial and open source application to give our customers the best search experience.

In Teleplan my focus was mainly on crisis management application development. I worked as a programmer, project manager and technical project manager on these projects. I was one of the the main developers of the first crisis management application (SIRI - Sivil RIsikoStyring) produced by Teleplan.
During my years in Teleplan I was in close contact with our customers on matters of both technical and crisis management issues. I worked as a technical project manager on a few biddings to Norwegian companies.
