I came to software from the health world: personal trainer, B.Sc. in Nutrition Science, and websites built on the side that turned into a fascination with how software works end to end. In 2020 I made it my career.

These days I'm a fullstack app developer at OBOS, Norway's largest housing developer with 640,000+ members, working on the member app. My focus is activation, engagement, and conversion, with Amplitude data and A/B tests settling the arguments.

Before that I spent two years at Convene Hospitality building software that meets hardware. Most of my time went to Flytoget, Norway's airport express train and one of the country's most recognized brands, where I built the React Native app running its ticket vending machines. The rest went to Convene's own hotel self-check-in kiosks. Unattended machines taught me more about failure handling than any tutorial ever could.

I started out at Skiwo, leading frontend development of the admin platform behind Salita, a national interpretation service handling 15,000+ orders a month.

The coaching background never left. When I'm not shipping, I'm usually in the gym or volunteering as a developer on iBønn and iFaste, apps serving Norway's Muslim community.
