Yngve Bergheim (yngvewb)

Unique contributions mark Yngve’s journey as a web developer and Drupal specialist. He has the distinction of being the brain behind several Drupal websites and the initiator of the first Drupal collection in Norway. This initiative eventually led to establishing Drupal Norway, where he served on the board. His prowess extends beyond development, as he is also a certified project manager.

Yngve has been working with web development since 1997, and since 2005 with the bulk of the Drupal framework, and has been the project manager for several development projects. Yngve graduated as a computer engineer at Tromsø University College in 2001 and then had a pending job at the consulting company Accenture in Oslo. One year later, he returned to Tromsø to help start up a business newspaper on the Internet, nord.no, where he was responsible for developing the online newspaper and the journalistic tools around. In 2001, Yngve was central to the start-up of the online magazine TromsoBy.no. It was a pioneer project in its time on social networking sites and a precursor to what one would call a social site today.

Yngve’s career took a turn when he became an editor, gaining valuable insights into social sites, web writing, web communication, and user-friendliness. This experience greatly influenced his work in the following years. He then became the webmaster for 11 Scibsted-owned newspapers in Northern Norway, including Bladet Tromsø and Harstad Tidende. His responsibilities included the development of online newspapers and the training of online journalists. In 2005, Yngve transitioned to a developer and development manager role at Utdanning.no, where he led several projects and was responsible for the publishing solution.
