I build fast, scalable and secure backend systems for startups and scaleups.

I can also fix them when they break and make sure they stay up under load.

Curently I work as an independent contractor, developer and architect, based in Oslo, Norway.

I’ve taken contract work since 2014 and worked on 14 projects for 13 different clients. Some of these have been multi-year, full time contracts while others have been advisory roles or short-time projects. Most of my customers are startups, scaleups or other small and medium sized businesses.

More about my previous clients can be found under Projects & Clients and in my full CV in English (PDF)

I adjust my approach to each project based on the client and the project itself. When building backend systems from scratch I usually do it with Go and on Google Cloud Platform or "bare metal". I feel I can focus more on business objectives and actually building things by not switching technologies too often.

AI assisted development tools, such as Claude Code, means I can get even more done as a single contributor. However, this is a complex topic with many nuances.
