About me

Born in the summer of '79, I grew up in Oslo Norway until '93. Moving with my family, I lived in Basel Switzerland for 5 years finishing my IBs at the International School of Basel. I then returned to Oslo in '98 to continue my education at the University of Oslo, aiming for a degree in Inforamtion Technology. After finishing my bachelors I decided it was time to make some loot, and ended up at Opera Software :)

I've always been a social creature and I find both family and friends neccessities to a meaningful existence. Music has a place close to my heart. Having listened to and played music almost all my life, I could not imagine living without it!

My work

I started my work in Opera Software in Quality Assurance, more specifically as a Test Manager on the Sybmian team. This gave me great insight into both the product, the people and the procedures and I even went on a few nice business trips - one to Symbian's main offices in London and another to Motorla's office in Tokyo. After about a year and a half and a few deliveries later, I made the move into development - staying on the Symbian team. I then went on to work on deveopling the browser for the Wii, or as they call it the "Internet Channel" which was immensely rewarding for a Nintendo old timer like myself.

The next challenge for me came in the form of a new job with Aspiro, learning new technologies and products, and deveoping systems and internet applications such as Telenor's online/mobile music store, and Platekompaniet's store along with the streaming music service Wimp. As a music lover but also a musician this has been a very enriching and interresting project.

Currently I am employed as a senior developer with Hospital IT, where we create modern IT based solutions for the health sector.
