Short autobiography

0-2 years

Went to Nordberg undomskole
Started being very interested in chess, became one of the best players in Europe
Travelled a lot around in Norway to play tournaments
Trained a lot and started training martial arts (kung fu + Muy Thai boxing)
I quit ninth grade for “home schooling”, in reality I was using all my time learning to play the piano, it was an obsession.
I started again in tenth grade at Nordberg, finished with pretty good grades
I remember being very interested in atheism and debating

I started on the “pre-IB” studiespesialisering at Berg high school
I was becoming obsessed with learning, I took the whole math curriculum in 1 year (1T, R1, R2) as privatist and a few other subjects
first year of high school I was absent almost all the time, school was “too easy” and boring
I emailed the principal of the school, and told him I wanted to jump over the second year, it was accepted
Finished high school in 2 years with good grades + one university math course (MAT1100, kalkulus)
During high school I read a lot on economics theory and political theory, I was debating all the time

Took a sales jobs, direct sales door-to-door, as my first “real job” ever. Learning sales is a useful skill, do not regret it.
Became obsessed with learning new languages. Focusing mostly on latin and germanic languages.
Worked part time at Tåsen barneskole (the same school I went to)

Started on a computer science (programmering og nettverk) bachelor
Finished the bachelor in 1.5 year by taking 230 study points in 3 semesters. I only used 170 of those since I had 10 points from high school (mat1100)
This was an insane fun period, really loved studying and working with other students

Starting working in a consultant company “Netcompany”
Took part in 2 projects, 1 at Kulturrådet and the other at Oslo kommune
At the same time as working fulltime I took 20 studiepoeng each semester, some physics and computer science courses like “OS”
I was at the end of this period going back to study to finish a master in digital signal processing

Took a summer job at Axpo nordic as data scientist, learned quite a lot about the energy market
I ended up quitting the master studies due to 2 reasons: I was becoming very interested in accounting and starting working with “Famme” a sportswear brand two brother’s started
I started working at Tripletex as a developer, which I contacted myself due to my interest in accounting
I was working at the same time with “Famme”
Learned a lot about accounting (doing årsregnskap myself for Famme)

I quit Tripletex to continue fulltime with Famme, due to 1/3 ownership I wanted to as fastest work to grow and sell the company
Took the role as CEO, overseeing “all departments” in Famme
Launched respiroc.com as an accelerator for E-commerce businesses. Had many ideas and started on some of them, but I did not follow through with any of them, and ultimately the idea of an accelerator failed.
Became very interested in SEO and achieved good results for famme.no
Learned a diverse set of skills, everything from marketing, production, warehouse, programming etc.
Bought apartment in Oslo. I ended up selling it shortly after, so in hindsight a waste of time.

Started actively training again, aiming for 150 push-ups straight, 30 hang ups straight etc.
Trying to reignite my passion for music + languages
Not sure about what to do with my life, do I really want to use several years on E-commerce?

Met my wife Arai 2022, we got married in 2024
Got my first child, daughter, in 2025
Got back fulltime into tech, I took two jobs, and the goal was just to get back “to the industry” and see if there is something I was “missing”, if the industry had evolved somehow.
Software consultancies and product companies have not changed, a lot of “bullshit” that I don’t want to be part of.
I started working on a customer service AI app, for now it is only used by Famme.
At this point, I think I should only focus on software. That is where I can have the most impact, and I enjoy it the most.
Finished my master’s degree in data science
Still contributing to Famme as CTO
