Lead Software Developer

Jan 2002 - Present
Designer and lead developer on the Xymon systems- and network-monitoring Open Source project. See www.xymon.com Xymon was developed to cater for the lack of web- and application monitoring which was needed in the early days of CSC offering web hosting. Initially, the "Big Brother" monitoring tool was used, but the easy access to monitoring data quickly made this tool inadequate. So Xymon came to life, initially as replacements for various elements in "Big Brother", but eventually evolving into a complete, self-contained tool. It was intended as an interim solution, but was still in use in early 2017, 16 years after being introduced. Xymon has succesfully been used to monitor more than 6.000 servers with close to 50.000 separate metrics in a single installation. As Xymon is licensed under the Open Source GPL, it is available to other companies, and has an active community of dedicated users. Show less

Service Architect (Technology architect)
-
Aug 2013 - Feb 2017
As Service Architect, my primary task is to define, describe and develop the standard service offerings which KMD Operations offers for building solutions to our customers. I.e. defining the building blocks, which our Solution Architects can use when constructing the systems which our customers need for their business. Input to new services come from business requirements from our customers, and developments in market trends and new technologies emerging. This means I am also involved in bids for new contracts as technology expert. I look at the full spectre of requirements, both what the service should contain on a technical level, who is going to deliver the service, what are the KPI's used to monitor the performance and quality of the service, and which cost elements must be taken into account when setting a price on the service. As part of a major development project, I became involved with an automation effort within KMD Operations to support rapid application development at the operational level. This evolved into an effort to investigate how a DevOps style of collaboration between Operations and our software developers might be implemented. Understanding the cultural differences between operations- and developer-staff and how these affect the priorities of the different groups, was quite interesting. My primary technology areas have been services based on Open Source middleware products (Linux, JBoss/Wildfly, MySQL, OpenGIS). Lately I have switched focus to security services, looking at both the standard operational security services and the more advanced security offerings where KMD provides managed security for our customers. I am also a participant in the Enterprise Architecture Review board within the Operations division of KMD. Show less

System Specialist
-
Nov 2001 - Aug 2013
As system specialist in the Web- and Middleware Engineering Services department, I worked with design, implementation and daily operation of advanced, large-scale websites. This included several companies in the financial sector (insurance companies like Tryg Forsikring, Royal Sun Alliance, the norwegian bank DnB), public sector (Royal Mail in the UK, Danish Tax) and others. The main technology area was web- and middleware: Weblogic, Websphere, Oracle Application Server, various webservers (Apache, SunOne/iPlanet, IBM HTTP server). I also liased with administrators for Infrastructure components such as firewalls, networks, monitoring etc. in the design of these systems. System and Application monitoring became a major topic, as I developed the Xymon monitoring system to support the need for application-level monitoring and easy access to real-time and historic monitoring data. Via this I became involved with nearly all CSC customers hosted at the Copenhagen datacenter. Management of SSL certificates was also a small, but important task. This included all contact to the Certificate Authorities from whom CSC and our customers procured certificates, often having to resolve both technical issues (eg. conversion from 1024 to 2048 bit keys in certificates) as well as administrative problems (certificate expiry and renewal, and issues with authentication of the organisations requesting certificates towards the CA).

Jan 1999 - Feb 2001
Neupart & Munkedal - later renamed Vigilante - was one of the very first companies to offer penetration testing of customer networks and systems in Denmark. I was employed as security tester in the very early days of their setting up shop as an young start-up company. My primary task was to perform vulnerability- and penetration-tests on customer systems, either solely through Internet facing services, or as a deeper security analysis of their internal networks and services. This involved all types of network, server, and application components. Programming and scripting custom tools for tests was also an important part of the job. Show less

Aug 1993 - Dec 1998
Olicom was a leading producer of Token-Ring network equipment (network cards, switches, bridges etc). As software engineer I was responsible for writing code for network adapter management (interfacing to the Desktop Management Interface standard and to SNMP), and for end-user installation, configuration and troubleshooting tools. In the mid-1990's, as Linux became more commonly used in servers, Olicom wanted to provide drivers for their network adapters to Linux - but without disclosing too much intellectual property by open sourcing their driver code. I was responsible for managing company relations with the Linux community, and for engaging a consultant to develop the Olicom token-ring Linux driver. Show less
