Summary
Daniel Skarpås is a seasoned developer with 11 years of professional experience and a decade-plus career that spans consulting, architecture, tech lead and full-stack roles across Norway and Europe. Currently building cloud-savvy pension and social security solutions at NAV, he has a track record delivering AWS migrations, IoT projects, and database optimisation work for clients like Ambita, Fremtind and Lendo/Schibsted. Educated with an MSc in Computer Science from Washington State University, he blends systems-level thinking (early work in hardware design at Sun Microsystems) with pragmatic backend/frontend engineering. Comfortable leading teams or shipping solo as a consultant and former founder, he leans into cloud-native architectures while keeping a strong focus on reliable, production-ready systems. An understated strength is his ability to move between strategic architecture and hands-on coding, making him effective in regulated, high-availability domains like pensions and social security.
