Ólafur Waage is a Senior Software Developer working for Factlines in Norway. Previously he worked for many years in the gaming and air traffic control industries. His work focuses mainly on programming with C++ and TypeScript. In his spare time he unsurprisingly likes video games and puzzles but he also enjoys non-fiction audio books and it would be a very strange day if it were not filled with music in some way.

Anders started programming in Turbo Pascal in 1995, and has been programming professionally in various languages since 2001. He's currently a principal engineer at Ascenium in Oslo, working on a new CPU design. He's also the author of the book C++ Brain Teasers, http://cppquiz.org, and https://blog.knatten.org
