Applied Physicist · AI Developer · Creative Problem Solver
An applied physicist who loves experimenting, small dogs, and a good toast.
I love all dogs, but there's something special about small dogs. They can be noisy, but also very cute.
I like to experiment and ask "what happens if I do this?" — curiosity is my default mode.
I love food, but I'm not picky — sometimes a toast can be the best thing in the world.
I studied physics and mathematics at NTNU, but the real education was learning to think in systems.
At NTNU, I studied Applied Physics and Mathematics — a combination that teaches you not just how to solve equations, but how to model reality. Physics gave me the ability to break complex systems into understandable parts. Mathematics gave me the language to describe them precisely. Together, they shaped how I approach every problem: understand the fundamentals first, then build up.
Physics trained me to decompose problems into first principles — identify what you know, what you need to find, and the simplest path between them.
From differential equations to statistical analysis — learning to create models that approximate reality well enough to be useful, and knowing their limits.
Applied physics is about real systems with feedback loops, constraints, and emergent behavior. This perspective applies just as well to software and organizations.
Every career has a turning point. Mine was realizing that the best acoustic solutions were built with code.
I joined Brekke & Strand to work in acoustics, but I ended up transforming how the team worked. My main tasks were project leadership, planning, and acoustic consulting for building, industrial, and transportation projects — construction noise calculations in CadnaA, sound measurements, and regulatory compliance with Norwegian workplace legislation. But I saw an opportunity: the manual workflows were slowing us down. So I built automated data analysis pipelines, maintained SQL databases, and developed the company's intranet solution with Blazor Server on the frontend and ASP.NET Minimal API on the backend.
At SINTEF, one of Europe's largest independent research organizations, I worked in acoustic laboratories conducting measurements and research. This was where theory met practice — applying the physics I'd studied at NTNU to real-world acoustic problems in a professional research setting.
At AquaGen, a leading fish farming genetics company, I focused on automation and workflow optimization. It was a fascinating intersection of engineering and biology — building tools to make complex processes more efficient in an industry I hadn't expected to work in. This experience planted the seed for my love of automation.
Teaching has been a thread running through my career. As a course leader, I developed and delivered content in physics, mathematics, and chemistry to children. Teaching forces you to truly understand a concept — if you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough. This experience shaped how I communicate complex technical ideas in every role since.
A toolkit shaped by physics, refined by consulting, and expanding into AI.
The right framework turns a tangled problem into a solvable one.
Start with empathy, end with solutions
Break it down to what you know is true
See the connections, not just the parts
You need someone who can bridge the gap between deep technical work and clear communication.
You need someone who doesn't just use tools — they understand the science behind them. My foundation in Applied Physics and Mathematics means I approach data analysis, modeling, and programming with deep understanding, not just pattern matching. When something breaks, I don't just Google the error; I reason about why it happened.
M.Sc. in Applied Physics and Mathematics from NTNU. Hands-on experience in data collection, analysis, modeling, and programming with Python and C#.
Theory is powerful, but it needs to be tested in the real world. Over five years as an Acoustic Consultant, I managed projects end-to-end — from planning and client conversations to data analysis and final delivery. I learned that the best technical solution means nothing if you can't communicate it clearly and deliver it on time.
5+ years at Brekke & Strand Akustikk AS, leading projects in industrial and transportation acoustics.
The field is moving fast, and I'm moving with it. My current work centers on developing AI tools and AI agents, backed by certifications in Neural Networks and Deep Learning. I'm not just following the AI trend — I'm building with it, understanding the principles behind it, and thinking critically about its implications.
Certifications in Neural Networks and Deep Learning. Active development of AI tools and agent-based systems.
The ability to explain complex ideas simply is underrated. Years of teaching physics, math, and chemistry to children — plus experience as a course leader — taught me that communication is a skill you practice, not a talent you're born with. I bring this to every team meeting, client presentation, and code review.
Described as 'pedagogical in training new employees' and 'eager to share knowledge' by former employer.
From acoustics to automation, from C# to AI agents — my career is defined by adaptation. I don't just tolerate change; I seek it out. Every new domain is an opportunity to apply familiar thinking to unfamiliar problems, and that cross-pollination is where the best ideas come from.
Diverse career spanning physics, acoustics, software development, automation, and AI. Consistent pattern of learning new domains and delivering results quickly.
The tools we build today will shape how we solve problems tomorrow.
Building intelligent agents that can reason, plan, and take action. I'm exploring how autonomous AI systems can assist with complex workflows — from data analysis to decision support. This is where my automation experience meets cutting-edge AI.
Deepening my understanding of neural architectures and their practical applications. With certifications already in hand, I'm focused on applying these techniques to real-world problems rather than just understanding them in theory.
As AI becomes more powerful, the questions around ethics, personal data, and responsible development become more urgent. I believe that building AI responsibly isn't a constraint — it's a design requirement that leads to better systems.
Understanding security isn't optional when you're building tools that handle data. I'm growing my knowledge of cybersecurity principles to ensure that the systems I build are secure by design, not as an afterthought.
Python and C# remain my core programming languages, and data analysis is the thread connecting all my work. Whether it's acoustic measurements, workflow metrics, or AI training data — the ability to extract meaning from data is the skill that never gets old.
Creativity isn't separate from technical work — it's the engine that drives it.
My creativity doesn't live in one domain — it shows up wherever I work. When I was building automation at Brekke & Strand, the creativity wasn't in the code itself but in seeing the opportunity: recognizing that a manual, error-prone process could become an elegant automated workflow. When I teach, creativity is about finding the analogy that makes a difficult concept seem easy.
The best ideas come from connecting fields that don't usually talk to each other. My path from physics to acoustics to software to AI has given me a toolkit that draws from each domain to solve problems in the next.
Creativity multiplies when you share it. I'm described as eager to share knowledge and pedagogical in training new team members. Making complex ideas accessible isn't just about communication — it's a creative act in itself.
Seeing an inefficient workflow and imagining a better one is a form of creativity. From automated data pipelines to intranet solutions, I've consistently found ways to make teams more effective through creative engineering.
I'm drawn to new challenges because curiosity is the fuel for creativity. Whether it's exploring AI agents, deepening my cybersecurity knowledge, or thinking about the ethics of the technology we build — each new area feeds the creative engine.
