The Instech team
-
Ole Jørgen Eikanger
Ole Jørgen loves being out on the ocean - very appropriate! This cooking connoisseur Chief Executive Officer also prefers a cold beer to Champagne and loves 1970's rock music. Groovy!

Kenneth Svendsen
Our Chief Technical Officer loves woodwork, is crazy about cheese, and barbecuing gets him all fired up. Kenneth also loves getting stuck into a really good book and is a keen model builder.
-
Liss-Ann Bjørkelund
Most people avoid jumping into ice-cold water... not super-tough Liss-Ann! This Customer Service Manager enjoys taking an outdoor winter dip. As a genealogist, she’s also fascinated with family trees.
-
Stig Nielsen
When he’s not being a rock-star Solution Architect, Stig’s a demon at DIY. He’s a budding Steven Spielberg, having directed a movie! He’s also the type that ‘always reads the manual’.
-
Oleksandr Slys
Oleksandr enjoys building big Lego kits – he’s even built the Death Star. This Senior System Engineer is a master at assembling IKEA furniture too. He also loves strumming his ukulele.
-
Morten Cools
With a name like Morten Cools, how could this Security Architect get any cooler? Well, by playing the guitar in his downtime, that’s how! He’s also a real outdoorsy type who enjoys camping, cycling and running. He’s also ‘hooked’ on fishing!
-
Ami Ahalpara
Ami is a Tech Lead who can speak five languages! This keen hiker also enjoys photography, Indian dancing, knitting and travelling. That’s a lot of hobbies!
-
Stein Børre Granmar
On a weekend, Test Manager Stein Børre can be heard shouting ‘Come on you Reds!’ as he’s a massive Liverpool supporter. He also likes to kick back on the sofa, watch a great movie or listen to music.
-
Stian Hindar Hatling
Tech lead Stian is our very own Indiana Jones – he used to be an archaeologist! He’s still able to chase ‘fortune and glory’ working at Instech! Stian also has a serious weakness for burgers.
stian.hatling@instech.no -
Even Vik Olsen
Junior System Developer Even gets in a spin playing frisbee-golf. When he’s not throwing plastic discs, he’s reaching new heights bouldering. Hey! Wanna hear something fishy? He’s never tried sushi!
-
Jan Erik Christensen
Senior System Developer Jan Erik is not only a former Norwegian sports-dance champion, he’s also a seriously good pastry chef. As such he’s particularly popular with all his sweet-toothed colleagues.

Malvina Kochkina
Malvina can speak five languages and is great with numbers. She also grows vegetables in her backyard. Is there anything this Front-end Developer cannot do? Well, DIY as it happens!
-
Tobias Kamenicky
We love that Tobias walks his own path: this Senior System Developer prefers to go hiking in bad weather. He’s from the Czech Republic but doesn’t like beer. He prefers a cup of tea and some self-baked cakes!
-
Asbjørn Øi
Scary robot voice: “You have 20 seconds to comply…” Don’t worry! Asbjørn’s nothing like ED-209 from RoboCop! Our Head of Compliance likes to chillax by strumming a guitar or taking his tent to the mountains… Nice!
-
Brindha Subramaniyam
This Test Engineer has seen so many detective movies that she can solve almost any puzzle! Brindha also enjoys baking new dishes in addition to spending time in nature with friends and family.
-
Eugene Rebedailo
You might want to take Eugene along to the pub quiz, as this Senior System Developer has a wealth of random trivia facts stored between his ears. Outside of work, he is an aspiring cook, game designer and musician.
-
Mari Lemme
Customer Engagement Coordinator Mari loves British TV crime dramas. If you ever need to solve the mystery of who stole your ice-cream, Mari would be prime suspect… she simply can’t resist a bowl or two!
-
Ola F. Smaaberg
Junior DevOps Developer Ola’s a self-confessed ‘disc-golf nerd’. When he’s not throwing bits of plastic around in the great outdoors, he’s often gaming or enjoying a cold sour beer. His flavour of choice? Rasbperry… mmmm, fruity!
-
Oksana Bogza
Test Manager
-
Bengt Meidell Hjertholm
You’ll often find Senior Customer Support Administrator Bengt in black shorts blowing a whistle. That’s because he’s a long-standing football referee! This self-described ‘morning bird’ also loves a spot of DIY.
bengt.m.hjertholm@instech.no -
Anders-Ove Tveit
This Senior DevOps Developer is into all things to do with the Marvel comic-book universe. He’s also big rock-music fan. Strangely, he’s allergic to dogs but still really wants one.
-
Arvid Haugen
Senior System Developer Arvid is a Norwegian ultrarunning champion and a grandpa. He also likes to get creative with a spot of woodturning, and has registered a patent... Impressive!
-
Stian Haugland
Stian’s a ‘smart home enthusiast’ who enjoys automating his home – do your best to make sure it doesn’t become self-aware like SkyNet, Stian! This Full-stack Developer also puts ketchup on his tacos and plays table-tennis – not at the same time, we’re guessing!
-
Tord Nesse Stenseide
This DevOps Tech Lead is a devotee of Tottenham Hotspur and also plays golf whenever he can. Oh, and way back in the early 2000s, Tord was on the national team playing computer game StarCraft: Brood War… Whoa!
-
Rune Grønning
When Business Analyst Rune isn’t here at Instech towers, you’ll find him bent over his pizza oven enjoying a craft beer or two! Throw in a nerdish love of indie music and you’ve got all the ingredients for a good night!
-
Ida Sofie Grude
Junior Developer Ida Sofie loves taking snaps with her trusty Polaroid camera – old-skool cool! She’s a keen traveller too, having picked up a love for coconut ice cream and even a name for her dog on her journeys… “Come here, Lima! Good boy!”
-
Eirik Sander-Fjeld
Eirik thinks nothing of going on a loooong hike in the mountains, staying in a tent or sometimes a cabin. But being out in nature won’t cut it when he needs to fire up a computer game – so this Senior DevOps Developer doesn’t mind chilling at home, either!
-
Vidar Waagbø
When he’s not being an awesome Application Architect, you’ll find Vidar indulging in a spot of retro gaming. He also likes to unwind by getting creative in the kitchen, knocking up a culinary treat or two… Tasty!
-
Per Magnus Bredesen
Our Head of UX is passionate about pedal power, being a keen mountain biker. He also likes to run… Phew! It’s not all outdoor action, though, as he also loves a good joystick workout with a computer game or three!
-
Karoline Gjerde
Business Analyst Karoline loves cats but doesn’t have one… Come on Karoline, get a feline friend in your life! In the summer, Karoline loves going to festivals and concerts. She indulges her darker side with horror films… Spooky!

Developer
-
Simen Lone
Simen’s a Developer who has also ‘developed’ a love of bouldering! When he’s not clinging to a rockface à la Tom Cruise in MI:2, he’s indulging his fascination for mini electronics. Simen also enjoys spending time in the kitchen working on new dishes. What’s cookin’, Simen?

-

Hans Petter Farstad
Business Analyst Hans Petter was going to be a farmer but decided to trade cattle for a keyboard and we’re glad he did! He loves to unwind with a bit of baking. We’re still waiting for him to bring us fresh buns every day, though…
