about
cto at wolve.ai (loyalty & retention for e-commerce). co-founder of mittalmar (youtube research for creators) and seawiz (maritime data platform for shipping). also running y corp labs, a small personal holding & consultancy.
msc from ntnu's school of entrepreneurship (2022–2024), with a summer at boston university. bsc in IT from oslomet before that.
previously: one of the first employees at indyriot (direct-to-fan platform for musicians). full-stack consulting via my own shop — built a covid-era loan calculator for dnb, norway's largest bank, among other things. bachelor capstone was skillsnest, an internal consultant-to-project matching tool for tietoevry that stayed in use for a few years.
what i'm good at: shipping software people use. some of it makes money, some of it doesn't. all of it taught me something.
also: i write occasionally and invest in weird things (chickens, below).
