I am optimistic, pragmatic and efficient. My ideal working environment is team-centric, dynamic, fun, and welcoming of opinions.
I strongly believe that having a full-stack understanding is fundamental for creating good software: To be able to change, operate and reason about a system as a whole one has to understand the individual parts.
I have years of experience engineering advanced software systems for multiple platforms and on all layers of the stack – from writing highly optimized GPU shaders in Swift/Metal, building scalable backend systems in Python to building great web experiences in Javascript. Five years of operations experience gives me an understanding of how to build maintainable systems.
I was a backend Java developer, architect and cloud engineer at Kapow Software and Tradeshift. As a full-stack softare engineer I worked with Python and Javascript at scale (10M+ users/day) in the new generation of the reading experience at issuu, and at Realm I helped build a new distributed database product. Most recently at Spektral turning research-level machine learning and computer vision machinery into reality as a virtual green screen for the iPhone.
Five years of operations experience at Octoshape, in charge of all aspects of IT infrastructure. In particular building, scaling and operating core infrastructure consisting of hundreds of globally hosted dedicated linux servers. I developed system automation tools before the cloud existed.
(Co-)founder and head of technology for several start-ups, namely peecee.dk, lokalvurdering.dk and ruumier.com. Volunteer network administrator and board member for various organizations.
I care for the internet, privacy and anonymity. I was a significant opponent of the possible introduction of e-election in Denmark, organizing events and gathering interest. We won! I host a RIPE Atlas probe, a PacketBot and a flightradar24 radar. I also spend quite some time running and have a deep passion for great food.
I have made various media appearences: Berlingske: E-valg (danish), Version2: E-valg (danish), Politiken: Ruumier.com (danish), Prosa: MADALGO sommerskole (danish).
