About Me

I'm a cybersecurity engineer with a bachelor's degree in Computer Science from the University of Tromsø. My passion lies at the intersection of code and security — where I continuously develop my skills in C, Python, Terraform, and ethical hacking through hands-on projects and practical learning.

Professionally, I've contributed to cybersecurity and automation projects at organizations like Aker Solutions, Sopra Steria, and SpareBank 1. My experience ranges from disaster recovery improvements and cloud infrastructure to ISO 27001 compliance and robotic process automation (RPA).

Known for my problem-solving mindset and technical curiosity, I thrive in challenging environments and enjoy collaborating with teams. With a strong focus on software development and offensive security, I'm always looking to expand my expertise in penetration testing, automation, and advanced programming.

"Driven by curiosity, grounded in code."
