Louis CAD

Louis CAD

I love reliable, efficient, and fun things.
Kotlin is my go-to tool to achieve that in software projects since 2016.

When considering others and their situations enough, it's possible to change a lot of things.

I'm specialized in asynchronous and concurrent programming with coroutines, in Kotlin Multiplatform, Android, Bluetooth Low Energy, Wear OS, Compose, library & SDK development, and Kotlin scripting.

I maintain a few successful open source projects like refreshVersions and Splitties fun-pack, while seeking new problems to solve with new libraries.

Always trying to innovate, I am interested in a lot of technical subjects of all scales, and how they are linked, directly or not.

I also specifically love commuting by recumbent bike, velomobiles, and lego technic.

Øivind Heggland

Øivind Heggland

I help teams and organizations collaborate better and grow – through workshops, coaching, and agile methodology.

As a Product Owner, I take ownership of the product direction and priorities, while focusing on supporting the development team in delivering value efficiently and with purpose. I thrive in environments where I can build understanding over time, work closely with developers, and act as a technical sparring partner.

I facilitate workshops, lead professional groups, and speak at conferences – always with the goal of creating psychological safety, strong team dynamics, and meaningful progress.

My sweet spot is working with specialized solutions, preferably with a physical component (IoT/OT). I prefer hands-on collaboration, insight work, and structured prioritization over endless meetings – and I use agile frameworks to create rhythm and clarity.

After working with me, teams should feel proud of what they’ve built – and confident in how they built it.
