Spotlight on Erik Haug

Tell us about Erik

I’m a 39-year-old software developer living in Figgjo, a charming town in Norway, with my spouse and son. Outside of work, I dedicate my limited spare time to spending quality moments with my family. Balancing work and family life is important to me, and I enjoy the time we share together.

Professionally, I consider myself a seasoned full-stack developer with a strong background in .NET programming. My journey into software development has been shaped by a combination of formal education in computer science and petroleum engineering, as well as years of hands-on experience working with major energy companies like ConocoPhillips, Equinor, and Talisman Energy.

Why did you join Stepwise?

I joined Stepwise because I wanted to be part of a startup with strong prospects for success.

The company's mission to drive the energy sector's transition to efficiency-driven emission reduction resonated deeply with me. Having worked in the energy industry for years, I understand the challenges it faces, and Stepwise's innovative approach to emissions management and efficiency-driven solutions felt like an opportunity to make a meaningful impact.

Being part of a dynamic and forward-thinking team at Stepwise is inspiring. The company's focus on combining technology with actionable insights aligns perfectly with my own passion for solving complex problems through innovation.

What’s your focus in Stepwise?

At Stepwise, my primary responsibilities revolve around integrating external data sources and building APIs to enhance our platform's capabilities. Recently, I’ve also taken on the task of migrating our current solution from Python to .NET — a project that aims to improve scalability and performance for our clients.

This role allows me to leverage my technical expertise while contributing directly to our mission of efficiency-driven emission reduction. By ensuring seamless data integration and robust API functionality, I help empower our clients with the tools they need to optimise operations and reduce emissions effectively.

I’m excited to be part of Stepwise’s journey as we continue to innovate and lead the energy sector towards a more sustainable future.
