Can you tell us a bit about yourself?
I am a 34 year old Norwegian developer that loves to invent new things. Whether it's in code or outside projects, creating is my passion. I was in the military for 10 years. The transition into IT has been smooth and rewarding. I have 1-year old twins, boy and girl, that take up most of my time. As a hobby, I play the guitar and just started playing the piano. When I have the time, I like playing PC games and enjoy a good workout at the gym.
When did you join eSmart Systems and what’s your role in the company?
I became an eSmarter in 2018 as a front and back-end developer. Within the first year, I had worked as both, and my creations were already running in production for customers. Having multiple tasks makes my job more challenging and exciting.
What inspires you to come in every day?
