Career

He finished a Bachelors of Science in mathematics at the University of Tromsø, which was then followed up with a Master of Science at the University of Bergen specializing in Machine Learning.

- I work as a software developer. I started working professionally at Stacc Insight AS in 2012. It was my first workplace straight out of my masters. I had barely done any kind of software engineering before, so it was quite a lot to learn for me.

At Stacc Insight AS he worked as a full-stack developer, working with backend, infrastructure and frontend. He quickly became well versed in backend, infrastructure and security, pioneering better security posture and development standards.

After a two year run at Stacc Insight AS a fellow student from University of Bergen reached out to him, asking if he wanted to work with him at IslandGarden AS.

- I said yes. It was good timing. I felt I needed to get exposed to new technologies and ways of working.

He then started working at IslandGarden AS. A small IT firm within the W. Giertsen group. He became the technological lead as well as being a system developer, having a central role shaping the solutions at IslandGarden.

- It was fun while it lasted. I actually got to do a real machine learning project there too. I learned a lot being there as I got so much freedom doing technological decisions.

IslandGarden office was at the W. Giertsen facilities.
