This is the personal page of Vegard Økland. I am currently working as a .Net consultant at the consultant firm Acando in Oslo, Norway. Before that I was a student at The Norwegian University of Science and Technology where I studied computer science and artificial intelligence. I hold a masters degree in comp sci/AI.

While work is mostly centered around Microsoft Sharepoint I enjoy playing around with other stuff in my free time. Stuff like HTML5, Javascript, python, django, google app engine, functional programming (javascript is Scheme in C-clothing!), machine learning, artificial intelligence, evolutionary algorithms and other geeky stuff. I make my own beer which is also kinda geeky. As one can tell from the content of this site, I'm more of a photographer then active blogger.

A short summary of the previous five years as a student:

Volunteer work

  • Web developer at Trondheim Student TV
  • Member of the sponsor promotional crew at UKA
  • Head of the academic committee at NTNUs computer science student organization Online

Paid work

  • Intern / summer intern at Yahoo! Technologies Norway
  • Summer intern at Computas
  • Oracle (tech support) at NTNUs Oracle service

I am a big fan of the archaic technology email so if you want to contact me I am available at vegard@okland.org An up to date resume should be available at my linkedin profile.
