Ambitious and results-driven professional with deep expertise in product development, having worked as a platform engineer at companies like Spacemaker and Glede. Holds a Master of Science (MSc) in Engineering from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), graduating with a perfect 5.0/5.0 GPA. Thesis title: "Developing a Digital Twin Platform for Monitoring of Structural Integrity" In parallel with my MSc, I pursued a Bachelor’s degree in Economics, completing the final two years of both degrees simultaneously. During one semester, I took on an intensive 97.5 ECTS workload—proving that I can work relentlessly when needed. Additionally, I spent a semester at Harvard (remotely due to COVID). For the past five years, I have co-founded and built Glede, transforming it into a thriving business: *Developed and launched a B2C gift-giving app, scaling to 30,000 users and facilitating 20,000+ gifts in two years. * Successfully pivoted to a B2B model, growing revenue from 0 to 30 million NOK in the first year and surpassing 100 million NOK within two years. * Raised over 15 million NOK in investment capital. * Led a diverse team of Norwegian employees, international consultants, full-time and part-time staff, and students Outside of this, I have created a number of apps during my spare time, including Instanote, Dinegenberedskap.no, a digital frisbee basket, and Quidle. Most of them were just for fun, but in Quidle, over 50,000 quizzes have been played, and I’ve earned some revenue through BuyMeACoffee. Additionally, I developed UkeQuiz together with Sufflør, based on Quidle, where we sold quizzes to companies for 100K+ NOK — pretty cool!
