40 years of experience in computing in general, and in the software industry (as well as related industrial research) in particular. I started as a research assistant in academia, and went through SW/HW/FW development, project management and various management levels in the computing industry, ending up with one foot in research and the other in the partially managerial and primarily technical world of enterprise software and related business disciplines. And I am a full-time politician as well (parliamentary candidate for the Norwegian Parliament from Venstre - The Norwegian Social-Liberal Party, 2013 through h2017).
