Interactive developer, specializing in Adobe Flash for games and devices. Avid writer, UX advocate, agile coder, speaker & organizer.
Jens has 15+ years of experience building interactive content for everything from kiosks, websites, applications and devices such as mobile phones and tablets. He has been working with Flash since version 3 and is an active member of the Flash community. He's created more than a hundred Flash games (thus the name of his blog Flashgamer.com) but he also makes web/standalone applications, does workshops and other consulting.
In 1994, Jens co-founded Netron. Initially Netron only did presentations using Asymetrix Toolbook and later Macromedia Director. In 1999, Netron became the first Norwegian Flash consultancy, doing exclusively Flash related work. In May 2006 he left the company to go freelance, but Jens still enjoys working with Netron from time to time.
With the help of some good friends in the community, he maintains the site Flashmagazine.com. Since it's start back in March 2000, it's become a popular site with Flash Designers and Developers. Flashmagazine now features more than 1500 articles about the Flash Platform and the community around it. It's just a hobby though.
Jens loves Open Source and is a contributor and committer to the Away 3D project. Together with Thomas Nesse, he started the GotoAndSki conference - the coolest (!) geek conference ever.
Jens also co-founded Flash User Group Norway (FUGN) with buddies Paulo Fierro and Øystein Wika. The User Group has regular meetings the first Monday every month.
Jens also enjoys working with the ExpressionEngine CMS system, building complex websites as well as developing custom ExpressionEngine plugins when required.
