About
Software Engineer at Dynamic Engineering, working with development, system architecture, and integration in industrial environments.
I've spent over 15 years building systems that bridge the gap between digital logic and the physical world. Starting as an automation apprentice and service engineer, I worked my way through PLC programming, network engineering, and software development, eventually taking on leadership of software development strategy at Dynamic Engineering.
My experience spans C++, C#, Python, and Java, along with PLC/SCADA integration, network design, and deployment on both Linux and Windows platforms. I work with AI and data analysis to support monitoring, automation, and operational improvements, including solutions for fish farming and broader industrial automation with an emphasis on OEE.
Currently pursuing a Master's in Artificial Intelligence at the University of Agder part-time while leading our development team. Outside work, I'm wrenching on engines, racing, or expanding my homelab.

Interests
Where engineering meets passion.
Embedded Design
Writing code that talks directly to hardware is something I find satisfying. I like building systems around microcontrollers and PLCs that interact with sensors, actuators, and real-world processes.
Vision Systems
I find it fascinating to make cameras useful, applying computer vision to automation and robotics, from object detection to guiding robotic systems. Turning raw image data into real decisions is a great engineering challenge.
Artificial Intelligence
Currently working towards a Master's in AI, with a focus on applying machine learning in industrial and embedded contexts. I'm motivated by the potential of combining data-driven approaches with the physical systems and domains I already know well.
Homelab
I run a homelab with Proxmox, Docker, and a variety of self-hosted services. It's a great way to test out infrastructure ideas and try new tools.
