Oslo, Norway · Building for the web since 2001.
Twenty-plus years building fast, resilient things for the web. Currently leading ed-tech development at Aschehoug, for students from first grade to adult education.
01 — Timeline
I lead teams and write code for the web. I care about the whole stack: from the database schema and the cache layer in front of it, to the last millisecond before paint.
Twenty-odd years in, I still find it ridiculous and wonderful that the web runs everywhere. Lately I have been poking at what WebAssembly lets us do in the browser, which is why the thing moving behind this text is not JavaScript.
Jan 2021 — now · Oslo
Leading development of Aunivers, one of Norway’s largest ed-tech platforms, used by hundreds of thousands of students every month across primary, lower and upper secondary, and adult education.
Nov 2011 — Jan 2021 · Oslo
Nine years of consulting on web platforms for clients like KPMG, XL-BYGG, Norcem, Confex and Avinor-integrated parking at Gardermoen. Order systems, course platforms, certification workflows, CMS and CRM integrations.
May 2007 — Nov 2011 · Oslo
Domains, DNS, mail and hosting for one of Norway’s largest registrars. Part time through university, full time after. Where I learned that the boring parts of the internet are the ones that matter.
2005 — 2009
Java, Python, algorithms and data structures, systems engineering, calculus, linear algebra, statistics and logic. Freelanced on web projects on the side.
2001
IRC scripts, Geocities pages and the first dynamic PHP sites, built as a teenager on a dial-up connection. Still at it.

03 — Contact
Open to conversations about tech leadership, web performance, ed-tech, or a good gravel route. Off duty I ride gravel, snowboard, and generally prefer to be outside and slightly out of breath.
