I was born and grew up in the small town Flekkefjord, but have since then lived in Oslo. Married to Nanette Nielsen, a professor who knows everything. Together we have two sons, Nicolai and Victor, and a Bengal cat, Skye. We are often in Denmark and Hungary.
My constant eager to seek out new knowledge and actively develop new skills, has turned me in to a Chief Engineer and IT Project Manager at the University of Oslo. Fields of interest are:
- (Multi Factor) Authentication and Passkeys
- Privacy (GDPR)
- Digital workflows (Playbooks)
- Automation (Blue Prism – RPA)
- Project management software
- Communication software – especially Mattermost (Awarded MVP for v9.10 for my translation work), Element (see my translation work) and Thunderbird
- Nextcloud
- Operating Systems: macOS, iOS, Linux and Haiku OS
I’m a very visual person, so it is no wonder that photography became my number one hobby!
You can see a good selection of my photos in the gallery on this site, and far more of my photos on Flickr. I love shooting birds (all photos you see on in the gallery are taken in the wild), nature, historic and urban motives. With two kids screaming train and tram, I have started taking photos of old trains and trams. Please don’t (re)publish any of my images on any media without my permission. © All rights reserved.
Just as much as I like doing photography, I love hiking, biking and skiing in the mountains. When living the city life, I’m a passionate coffee drinker, loving coffees from small roasting companies. Favorite coffee bars and roasting companies are:
