Verktøyet som koordinerte mottakelsen til Kong Haralds begravelse
Få dager etter Kong Harald Vs bortgang får teknologimiljøet i Avinor en hasteforespørsel fra Oslo lufthavn: Kan de utvikle et verktøy som kan koordinere mottakelsen av kongelige, statsoverhoder og VIP-delegasjoner fra hele verden?
Abinaya Sakthivel is a java developer at Avinor, based at the control centre in Røyken.
"It worked out from the start. I was allowed to visit after the interview. A nice lunch with the team gave me an insight into what my working day would look like. I really appreciated that, because well-being is the most important thing to me.
When she started at Avinor, she came straight from school, and had a somewhat atypical background with mathematical and theoretical subjects. She was involved in the projects right away.
"There were a lot of things that were new to me, but I received good training, and felt that people invested in time to give me a good start. It made me feel like part of the team from day one.
System for future airspace control
Abinaya is part of the Aims team, which has a state-of-the-art technology stack. They are keen to test new technology, and now they run all their projects on Kubernetes and Docker. The team consists of 11 developers, which in turn are divided into three; one platform team and two application teams.
When describing her work tasks, she gives an example from the most exciting project for technologists in Røyken right now: The shift from the old air traffic control system to a completely new system called iTEC. The system is being developed in alliance with several other European countries and will give Avinor access to a modern, common European technology platform.
