Webstep is a non-bureaucratic company tailored for clever people.

In 2007 I started as a senior consultant in Webstep. Through numerous projects over many years I’ve expanded my technological horizon and grown my network. At present I have a consulting engagement with DNB Carnegie, the investment branch of DNB, the largest bank in Norway. Other organizations that I have had the pleasure to assist include Equinor, Avinor, Stacc, Epsis and Christian Michelsen Research. Also I have contributed to several Webstep in-house software projects. I’ve exercized numerous roles in my assignments including software developer, architect, data warehouse designer, business developer, executive, business process modeller and facilitator.

The Nahmii architecture offers unprecedented scalability of Ethereum equivalent blockchains.

In 2017 Nahmii set out to incorporate blockchain technology into its existing business, with the intention to build a fairer platform for online content creators, distributors and consumers. Nahmii’s plan required a blockchain that could handle thousands of transactions each second, with minimal latency and low fees. Realizing that the proposed scaling solutions for Ethereum were unable to fit its needs, Nahmii engaged to build its own, aptly also name Nahmii, the first commercially-focused Ethereum scaling solution.

The Nahmii project has made me dive into the development of distributed applications that lays the foundation of contemporary blockchain networks and solutions on top. I’ve spent a fair chunk of my time developing smart contracts primarily for Ethereum equivalent networks and explored the inner workings of Ethereum client software. I have worked on microservices at the back-end, SDK, GUI, command line interfaces and architecture. As the Nahmii stack runs in the cloud, working with the likes of AWS and their services is a daily routine in the development and maintenance of infrastructure. Back in the day, prior to the pivot to a business model founded on blockchain‚ I worked on textual search and classification. Top this up with business development no day has ever been boring.

We are dedicated to bringing the most advanced neuro-imaging tools to market while making functional MRI programs easy to implement.

NordicNeuroLab provides products and solutions that support the field of functional MR imaging of the human brain. I took part in the development of their BOLD, Diffusion/DTI, and Perfusion/DCE analysis imaging software called ‘nordicICE’. I focused on multi-planar visualization features and affine transformations as well as segmentation of structural pixel data for brain tissue extraction.

The research conducted here ranges from elementary particle physics to material science and energy research, from space science to medical physics.

My work included the development of analytical algorithms for experimental nuclear collision data w.r.t. particle identification and characterization, simulation and modeling of physical systems, as well as the design and development of software for calibration and monitoring of detectors and experiments. One year was spent at Brookhaven National Laboratory, NY, USA.

The University of Bergen (UiB) is an internationally recognised research university. Academic diversity and high quality are fundamental for us. UiB is the most cited university in Norway.

The thesis “Rapidity and transverse momentum spectra and the reaction dynamics in Au + Au collisions at RHIC” describes various dynamic models for collisions of heavy atomic nuclei at high energies. These models are discussed in light of my own experimental results from the BRAHMS experiment at Brookhaven National Laboratory, NY, USA.

The work described in the thesis “Performance of the time projection chambers of the BRAHMS experiment at RHIC” involved hardware and functional testing of time projection chambers. Detectors of this type lay the groundwork for particle detection capabilities in the BRAHMS experiment at Brookhaven National Laboratory, NY, USA.
