Meet Mads Vium Asbjørn
Nordija´s VP Mobile Devices from Denmark
Mads is originally from Haderslev, Jutland – the western part of Denmark - but moved to Copenhagen in 2001 to study at the Technical University of Denmark.
Mads has been working for Nordija for over 6 years as a Chapter lead of the Device team and Android developer.
With a Master's degree in Civil Engineering from DTU, Mads has been working in several developer positions at Dansk Telemidicin, Unwire, and has lots of side projects and hobby apps on the App Store and Play Store.
Mads currently lives in Hillerød, north of Copenhagen with his wife, Cecilie, and 3 sons (3 months, 6, and 8 years old).
Why and when did you join Nordija?
I was not looking for a new job, but it was by complete coincidence when I met Nordija's previous CTO, Claus, at a party. Claus invited me to a job interview the next week, and I was sold right away, so quit my previous job and started working at Nordija.
Role at Nordija
I’m responsible for the app platform and developer of primarily Android, but also iOS and React. I’m doing system architecture and design, improving processes and workflow, defining and ensuring best practices, team planning, management, and estimations.
What do you enjoy the most about Nordija´s culture?
I like the family culture where we take care of and look after each other. I think that the social aspect is a big part of it - we take any chance we have to celebrate. Besides that, it’s a funny, vibrant, and innovative environment, with lots of challenges and great team spirit.
What do you like to do when you aren’t working? And what are your interests and passions outside of work?
Looking forward to connecting with you.
