AskTech is led by Andreas Tønnesen who has extensive experience in software development, product design, team management, and business leadership. Andreas spent 17 years at Otrum AS (later Uniguest), where he managed the R&D department for over a decade, including six years as CTO. During this time, he worked closely with companies such as LG, Samsung, and Philips/TPVision.
Extensive experience working with hospitality Smart-TVs and Digital Signage displays from LG, Samsung, and Philips, utilizing APIs like HCAP, SCAP, IDCAP, Orsay, Tizen, CDB, and Android. We were involved in shaping some of these solutions from the very beginning.
Experience using AWS since its launch in the EU region. Have designed and managed solutions using services such as CloudFront, Web Application Firewall, ACM, Elastic Load Balancer, VPC, EC2, Lambda, RDS, DynamoDB, ElastiCache, S3, CloudWatch, and IAM. We also have many years of experience in AWS cost management.
Worked with embedded devices across various domains, including video conferencing, TV set-top boxes, digital signage players, and networking devices. Our experience spans preparing OS images, developing bootloaders, creating OS drivers, implementing DVB stacks, integrating image and signage encryption, and building applications. While we specialize in Linux variants, we also have some experience with OSes like pSOS and Nucleus.
Extensive experience managing large monolithic and microservice systems, both on-premises and cloud-based, operating 24/7. These systems connect hundreds of thousands of clients. Our expertise includes troubleshooting network/CPU load issues and optimizing systems based on lessons learned. We have also designed deployment models, scaled systems, and supported automatic deployments using CI/CD tools like Jenkins and GitHub Enterprise.
Experience designing large, scalable systems to deploy applications, offer services, and manage large numbers of connected devices in real time. This includes developing and maintaining a push service that handles 100,000+ devices in real-time.
Experience building web-applications using framworks and libraries such as JQuery, ext.js, VuE and more. Serverside work has mainly been node.js.
With over a decade of experience in managing development teams using agile processes, we have been part of company management, overseen product processes, and participated in customer-facing operations, including sales meetings and key account management. We also possess deep domain knowledge of in-room TV systems and digital signage within the hospitality industry.
