Building software.
Building software.
Finding new trails.
I'm a technology leader and product builder based in Norway. I bring together technical strategy and hands-on engineering to turn complex problems into useful products — and build the foundations that help them grow.
01 / The work
From idea to production.
I'm CTO at Createview AS, where I focus on technical strategy, architecture, and delivery of scalable software systems. Reliability, performance, and long-term maintainability guide how I build.
My work spans computer vision, AI tooling, web applications, and the infrastructure behind them. I also build open-source tools and run products of my own — from hardware BOM management to helping people find their next ferry.

Built for real use.
BomBuilds ↗
A Bill of Materials management platform for hardware teams and builders. Organize parts, manage builds, and keep hardware projects sane as they scale.

Technical direction.
Engineering depth.
I work across the whole product lifecycle: shaping technical direction, building applications, and operating demanding workloads. The tools serve the problem, with reliability and maintainability at the centre.
- Technical leadership
- Technical strategy, architecture, engineering direction, and product delivery.
- Computer vision & AI tooling
- Vision pipelines, intelligent tools, and practical integration of AI into products and workflows.
- Web application development
- End-to-end applications, from user-facing experiences to the services that power them.
- Backend & databases
- APIs, data modelling, integrations, and reliable systems built to grow.
- DevOps & containerization
- Deployment automation, reproducible environments, and production operations.
- GPU workloads
- Infrastructure and deployment for compute-intensive vision and AI workloads.
- Languages
- Go, TypeScript, Rust — alongside the right tools for each project's needs.
A long-running open-source habit.
I've spent years creating and maintaining open-source projects, from application components to deployment and backup tooling. That same practical approach shapes my work today: solve a real problem, make it useful, and leave a foundation others can build on.

A different kind of exploring.
Ski touring, splitboarding, and cycling take me into the Norwegian mountains and beyond — from dawn patrol in the Lyngen Alps to powder days in Japan and long rides through the fjords.
This blog is where those adventures meet the technical work. I've been writing here since 2007.
