My name is Rolf Wiegand Storgaard, I was born in the year 1973 and I have been the CTO in NorthTech since 2003.
I am an expert expert developer, it-architect and enterprise architect. And as well an expert methodologist, data analyst and DevOps-architect
The early years
I have played with computers as long as I can remember. In an early age my father (Flemming Wiegand Hansen) introduced me to technology. He worked at the main telephone company in Denmark (KTAS) as the head of the research and development department. Because of his work he brought a lot of nice things home from work in the early years of home computing and I was aloud to play with them.
Programming and my first real job
In the mid eighties I started programming in Basic – both on PC (an Ericsson 8088) and on my Commodore 64. Later in the eighties added C on my Amiga and Assembly on both Commodore 64 and Amiga. Up trough the nineties I moved to Pascal – mainly PCs and then C++. In 1998 I was hired by a small company and started up building enterprise web solutions in MS Visual Studio with Visual Basic and ASP. I as well started on JAVA and I have worked with JAVA since. At this stage I started up building application servers, with services, web services, transaction management, failover, load balancing, message queues and all the other enterprise terminologies. The next 5 years I worked for this company on all kinds of web solutions and leaned MS .NET C# as well.
I started my company – NorthTech
In 2003 I started my own company – NorthTech – with two of my good friends; Jes Wulfsberg Nielsen (Frontend Architect) and Jon Gregor Hemmingsen (CEO & Solution Architect). At first we primarily worked as consultants and founded some spin-of-projects. Since 2015 we wanted to do our own products and now have a world brand called ClimbAlong.
