Bio

Hi, I'm Asbjørn Ulsberg and I've been programming professionally for 20 years

and as a hobby for more than 30. I have a passion for software architecture and

spend a lot of time thinking about modeling and naming things. The web has

always been close to my heart, so I spend time in IETF and W3C working groups to

make it better. When I'm not working, I enjoy spending time with my wife and

daughter as well as participating in the

demoscene and making music with my

alter ego Bitbear. I love creativity and continuous

improvement, which are two of the driving forces that get me out of the bed

every morning.

Skills

I've been working as a backend developer, frontend developer, CTO and architect,

in all sorts of programming languages, ranging from Visual Basic to C, Perl,

Ruby, Python, PHP, C#, JavaScript, Bash, etc. I therefore consider myself

polyglot and "full-stack", whatever that means. I enjoy all parts of

development, appreciate most programming languages and find the freedom to use

the right tool for the job a liberating, creative and rewarding experience.
