Now
I am Co-founder and CTO at Nortech AI, where I lead the company's technology development. My work covers industrial control systems, data acquisition, software architecture, and information security. A central part of the role is connecting operational technology with software and data platforms in a way that is reliable and useful in daily operations.
I particularly enjoy systems integration: understanding communication protocols, working with poorly documented interfaces, and determining how machines and control systems exchange data. This draws on my background in industrial automation as well as experience with modern software development. New tools, including AI-assisted development and analysis, help me investigate systems and deliver integrations more efficiently.
As CTO, I set technical priorities and make practical decisions about architecture, product development, security, and operations. The work ranges from detailed engineering to the longer-term development of the company and its products.
Background
Before co-founding Nortech AI, I spent a decade at Bergen Engines working with engine control and industrial automation. During that time, including the years when the company was part of the Rolls-Royce group, I helped develop systems for equipment health monitoring, remote operation of power plants, and secure transfer of operational data.
Earlier in my career, I worked with instrumentation at Reinertsen and during my time as a student i was engaged in student societies and worked as a volunteer at Det Akademiske Kvarter in Bergen. In 2018, I received the Sir Henry Royce Award for my engineering work on the Equipment Health Monitoring programme.
Projects and independent work
Alongside my work at Nortech AI, I develop and maintain smaller software projects. I am especially interested in practical work involving industrial automation, PLC and control logic, communication protocols, data acquisition, and the software needed to connect these systems.
I am available on a limited basis for smaller, clearly scoped assignments as an independent contractor. Relevant work may include CODESYS- or Siemens-based automation, systems integration, protocol analysis, technical software, and related IT development. Assignments must be compatible with my responsibilities at Nortech AI.
