Past professional work

Led the move of multiple micro-services from plain Docker deployments into Kubernetes (AKS) for a sensor-data storage, aggregation and AI-supported system. Adapted programs to work together in a container environment, log properly, die when fatally failing, respond to signals, break free from persistent state, and otherwise facilitating their individual scalability.
(Node.js, Python, Docker, Kubernetes, Azure)

Developed an image analysis program to detect images that were combined into collages. Through down-sampling, color-reduction and raw pixel analysis, these images were identified.
(Python, OpenCV, Docker, AWS)

Reviewed a Golang project's code base and its deployment platform to ensure it adhered to best practices, followed security guidelines and validated the intended functionality of the solution.
(Golang, GCP)

Created an independent online ordering system for take-away food for several Oslo based restaurants, giving them a more cost-effective alternative compared to the biggest take-away courier companies. Orders go from the customer's phone to the kitchen printers.
(Node.js, SQLite)

Developed an interactive single-page application (SPA) to help match customer criterias with a large set of products. In collaboration with a graphical designer, we created a highly interactive, statically built web-site, that worked responsively across multiple devices and screen sizes, with focus on UX and usability.
(Angular.js, Grunt.js, Node.js, HTML, CSS)

Hobby projects, links and tools

I write about problems I encounter and how I solve them on my blog.
A page where you can see what your current ip address is. See related blog post for more information.
I've made a digital realtime timetable showing departures in the public transport system in Oslo, using an ESP8266 with an attached OLED screen. See stigok/ruterstop for pictures and more information.
I wrote a driver for a Raspberry Pi IO expander board (IO PI) to interface with Oslo Hackerspace's vending machine. Here's a link to the go-io-pi client module.
A page to demonstrate animated css box-shadow.
I share code and contribute to open-source software on my GitHub page. There you'll also find the source for this website.
