About

As a software developer at Espos Norge AS, I am part of a team that builds and delivers a preeetty cool payment ecosystem to some of the biggest festivals and concerts in Norway, with Flutter, .NET and Javascript as my core stack. While my primary focus has been on developing mobile solutions over the past years, I also have knowledge and experience in web development. Before becoming a software developer, I had an academic and professional background in media and communication. This has allowed me to bring a unique perspective to my development work, focusing not only on technical solutions but also on user experience and business needs. Additionally, my time co-managing an Asian take-away shop in Oslo helped me hone valuable leadership, customer service, and problem-solving skills. This diverse background has shaped my approach to software development, which is grounded in creativity, adaptability, and continuous learning.

  • Co-Owner at Hy's Løren AS
    Oct 2019 - Sep 2021 · 2 yrs

    Opened a small Asian food and sushi take away shop on such a fine Thursday 20/02/2020 receiving an enormous flow of customers, more than expected. Three weeks later came the first lockdown due to covid-19 so the shop had to be closed temporarily for two weeks. Ever since the reopening, new rules and regulations kept changing and so we faced new challenges and uncertainty every week. I co-owned, co-managed, co-developed recipes and menu, solely responsible for marketing, design, sales. I did everything that had to be done no matter big or small.
