Hi. I’m a software developer. I occasionally write about technical topics here, if I think it can be of interest or help to a broader audience. The opinions expressed on this site are my own and not necessarily those of my employer.
I enjoy coding, computers and dealing with stubborn problems. I’ve been using GNU/Linux-based operating systems privately and professionally for years, because I like the security, freedom and respect for personal privacy that the platform provides. As formal background, I have a master’s degree in information science from the University of Oslo from 2005, specializing in object orientation, modelling and programming languages.
I have close to 20 years of experience as a Java developer, mostly in the areas of web technology and services, focusing on backend, search, architecture and operations. But I never let go of a chance to do fun coding in any part of a system. I am currently employed as a senior software engineer at Sopra Steria in Norway. Previously I worked at the University of Oslo, as part of the team developing their in-house web publishing solutions.

This site does not contain any ads, and I do not make any money off it. However, I disallow third parties to blatantly steal all my published writings for profit, because it can negatively impact my site’s web presence and identity. Which is about the only reason for me to keep it operational and public.
