Alf Kristian Støyle

Fullstack-utvikler med hovedfokus på frontend. Har bidratt til større teknologiløft for frontend-applikasjonene til hele nettbanken. Har også vært med på å utvikle nye felles spareløsninger for Sbanken og DNB, hovedsakelig innen fondshandel, aksjesparekonto og individuell pensjonssparing.

FINN har mange systemer som til sammen lager FINN.no. Et av de sentrale teamene er ADVIEW, som har ansvaret for mange ganske kjente sider, som f.eks. salg av brukt eiendom. Da Alf Kristian startet i teamet, tok han ansvar som eneste fulltid frontend utvikler, med oppgaver som å implementere nye design, drive vedlikehold, samt bistå andre i teamet med frontend.

Underveis i oppdraget ble det ansatt en rekke nye folk i teamet, inklusiv en frontend utvikler som Alf Kristian jobbet tett med. Hele teamet jobbet med å modernisere annonsesider for eiendom og torget.

Frontend har naturligvis et veldig stort fokus i FINN, så f.eks. ytelse, mobiltilpasning og universell utforming er viktig.

Bring lager en ny markedsplass på nett der en kan kjøpe og selge varer og tjenster, og få varer levert på dagen (med Glow). Denne markedsplassen har fått navnet AMOI (https://amoi.no). Prosjektet hadde oppstart i februar 2020, og var i produksjon i mai 2020. Løsningen ble laget med på Elixir og Phoenix, og driftet i Azure. Prosjektet ble drevet svært smidig, der alle kunne påvirke daglig hva som skulle lages og hvordan. Alf Kristian var tech lead for et lite tech team, som hadde fullt ansvar for utvikling og drift.

«Alf Kristian’s involvement in any team or project will result in a significant improvement and his contributions will have a lasting impact even after his consultancy period has concluded. I strongly recommend that anyone with the opportunity to work with Alf Kristian take advantage of it promptly.

I had the privilege of working with Alf Kristian for a year in the FINN AdView team. He exemplifies the characteristics that one would hope for in a talented colleague and team member. His technical expertise is unparalleled, and in the event of any gaps, he will take the initiative to research and expand his knowledge with curiosity and eagerness to ensure that the team skill set also grows and benefits greatly from it.

In addition to his technical prowess, Alf Kristian’s strengths lie in his approach to system development mindset and team collaboration. He consistently goes above and beyond to fully comprehend complex processes and root causes to deliver exceptional value to users. He is driven, accountable, and always strives for excellence while putting the team’s interests first and ensuring that all his contributions are beneficial to the team’s success.

Furthermore, Alf Kristian was a valuable asset to the team, not only in his contributions, but also in his ability to effectively onboard new team members and ensure their smooth integration into the team and helping them grow further.»

«Alf Kristian is a role model developer. He is technical to his finger tips, with a deep understanding of how code runs on a computer. He is up-to-date on which tools work well, and shines with experience and lessons learned. He is unafraid in his approach to new technology, eager to learn and always get better. But he is so much more than a technologist; he is selfless, setting aside personal development goals for the greater good of the team and the customer. He has passion for the project, and compassion for his teammates, doing what he can to strengthen the team.

At Bring, Alf Kristian has built a development team for a new business area, really helping us gain ground, both technology-wise and business-wise. His positive attitude has helped getting things done, without sacrificing quality. I sure hope I get the chance to work with him again.»

«I had the pleasure to work with Alf Kristian as a client in BN Bolig. His role in our project was as a senior full-stack developer and architect, where he was a key resource in selecting a future proof technology stack, developing a scalable and agile front/backend, implementing infrastructure and mentoring other developers.

His technology skills and deliverables are unquestionable, but what we found most valuable was his ability to identify week spots and on his own initiative fill in the blanks. Key areas where Alf Kristian has taken responsibility outside his defined role is in security issues, the interconnection between development and operations, development processes, onboarding of new employees and mapping of complex and (often) diverging user needs to delivered solution.

Alf Kristian is committed and takes ownership in his assignments. I have personally learned a lot from working with him and would not hesitate to work with him again if I get the opportunity. »
