Stein Inge Morisbak is CTO at Tet Digital, leading the technological modernization of Norwegian public transport. A pioneer in Agile, DevOps, and the cloud journey, he has been a central voice in the Norwegian tech community for nearly three decades — first as a developer and architect, then in senior leadership as CDO, CEO, and CTO. That trajectory from hands-on code to the executive table shapes why he believes technical depth — and the nerd — matter more, not less, now that AI is changing how we build software.

Stian is a Product Engineer at Tana, where he builds tools for how engineering teams think, organize, and work with AI. With 7,500+ Claude Code sessions logged and a stack of homemade developer tools, he spends as much time using the AI tooling stack as building for it. He also runs hands-on AI workshops for engineering teams — most recently 321 and Vitec Megler — which double as direct field research into how developers actually adopt AI tools. His PhD in Learning Sciences (University of Toronto) and postdoc at EPFL keep showing up in unexpectedly practical ways.
