GLA Summit

My name is Jesper Kjær Sørensen and I am a Systems Engineer at GPower. I am a Certified LabVIEW and Teststand Developer and a general Pythonista. I have been programming in LabVIEW since 2006, in Python since about 2012, and TestStand since 2018. At GPower I have worked with many exciting projects, especially measuring Wind Turbine Blade Dynamics. My passion is making SOLID code and using SOLID programming principles, so I am continually working on improving myself. I have a general focus on combining the best parts from each of the languages to automate as many manual processes as possible.

I am also a trained Scrum Master in SAFe 5 and the Product Owner on GPower Expression Parser for LabVIEW, our expression evaluation toolkit for faster computations.

Historically, I have worked in several industries before GPower, where the most interesting was certifying, developing, and testing methanol-based high-temperature fuel cells while I was at Serenergy, now Advent Technology. I worked with the development of custom fuel cell stack test stations for about 3 years. Then I worked with CE certification and maritime approval of fuel cells, but over time I learned that developing applications and making code was my true passion and I decided to find new challenges at GPower.

I currently live in Denmark on a farm with my wife and daughter and about 40 Holstein cows and heifers. I am spending my spare time on photography and going on scouting trips with my daughter to unwind from the digital life.
