About Me

Full-stack developer, entrepreneur, and skiing enthusiast.

Knut W. Horne

Who I Am

I'm Knut W. Horne, a passionate full-stack web developer based in Bergen, Norway. With years of experience in software development, I specialize in creating comprehensive digital solutions that help businesses streamline their operations.

Currently, I'm the founder and lead developer at my own company, where I develop innovative RFID-based solutions for retail and logistics. My flagship project is the Inside NEXT RFID Ecosystem, a complete WMS, logistics, and Retail POS platform that's transforming how businesses manage their inventory and operations.

When I'm not coding, you'll find me skiing in Hemsedal's majestic Hallingdal mountains, sometimes known as the Scandinavian Alps. They provide the highest lift-served slopes in Scandinavia – up to 1,500 meters – and I'm fortunate enough to have my own cabin there.
