About me
Working in the interface between business and technology I provide context and transform business needs to tangible and innovative solutions and services, sometimes by myself, but I prefer to be surrounded by a team that is well smarter than me.
I have co-founded five and worked at/for/with many companies in my career, during which time I’ve gotten to experience everything between military and multi-national enterprise corporations, to the bootstrapped startup in silicon valley working out of a motel room.
I started out as a junior sysadmin at a Norwegian ISP in 1997, did a stint as a Unix operator for NATO, and have been building and breaking things across the stack ever since. Three of the companies I co-founded were acquired, which taught me at least as much about what not to do as what works. Today I lead the technology side of Eyr Medical, a Scandinavian telemedicine platform operating across Norway, Denmark and Sweden.
Manager
Two decades of leading development teams & infrastructure projects — in-house, contractors, and increasingly, AI agents. Turns out managing humans was just training for managing bots.
Sysadmin
Nearly 30 years of keeping servers alive, from hand-racked hardware to Kubernetes clusters. Linux by heart, comfortable anywhere there's a terminal. Automate first, ask questions later.
Developer
Did DevOps before it had a name — first CI pipeline was Hudson, CVS and CFEngine in 1998. Still happiest when writing code that makes infrastructure do what it's told.
