I am an experienced DevOps engineer and full-stack developer with a strong background in cloud infrastructure, automation, and software development. Over the past several years, I have worked on numerous projects, ranging from enterprise-grade applications to high-scale cloud migrations, covering both private and public sectors.
As a full-stack developer, I have expertise in multiple programming languages, including Python, C++, Java, Go, PHP, and JavaScript/TypeScript. I have built and maintained applications using frameworks like Spring, Flask, Django, Laravel, Angular, and Vue.js. My experience spans across diverse databases such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, and DynamoDB, ensuring robust data storage solutions tailored to business needs.
In the DevOps domain, I have extensive experience managing cloud infrastructure, particularly within AWS and Azure ecosystems. I am proficient in Terraform for Infrastructure as Code (IaC), and I specialize in deploying scalable applications on ECS, EKS, Fargate, and Kubernetes. My knowledge of CI/CD pipelines using GitLab, Bitbucket, and GitHub Actions has allowed me to automate deployment processes, ensuring fast, reliable, and error-free software delivery.
I have worked on projects requiring high availability, scalability, and security, including handling mission-critical applications in government, healthcare, and financial sectors. I have also been involved in cloud cost optimization, helping companies efficiently scale their cloud resources while reducing operational expenses.

Project history
As a Migration and DevOps specialist for Milient Software, the project involved transitioning a legacy AWS stack to a modern, multi-account AWS platform in a Greenfield setup. The migration aimed to enhance scalability, security, and maintainability while aligning with best practices for cloud-native architecture.
Key responsibilities included leading the AWS architecture design, implementing new cloud-native services, and ensuring a
seamless migration to the new platform. A critical part of the work was designing and implementing CI/CD pipelines to support efficient software delivery, writing Terraform for infrastructure as code, and maintaining security aspects to align with compliance and best practices. Post-migration, the focus shifted to maintaining and continuously improving the platform, ensuring it remains robust and adaptable to evolving business needs.
Collaboration was central to the role, working closely with product teams and other stakeholders to align technical solutions with business objectives, ensuring a smooth transition and long-term success of the new AWS platform.
Technologies used: AWS, Bitbucket, Gitlab, Terraform, ECS / Fargate.

Norwegian Digitalisation Agency (DigDir) – the central authority responsible for digital transformation, IT infrastructure, and public sector interoperability in Norway.
The project focused on strengthening DigDir’s observability and resilience to improve their ability to detect, diagnose, and resolve performance issues and incidents. Historically, the organization faced challenges in pinpointing the root causes of disruptions due to limited visibility across its cloud infrastructure and distributed services.
A comprehensive assessment was conducted on the existing architecture, cloud infrastructure, and monitoring setup. This included reviewing DigDir’s Dynatrace dashboards to identify gaps in observability, assessing and refining SLIs and SLOs to align with operational needs, and analyzing system dependencies and event correlation to improve root cause analysis. Additionally, improvements to logging, tracing, and alerting mechanisms were proposed to ensure better coverage and actionable insights.
The outcome of the project provided DigDir with concrete recommendations for optimizing their monitoring strategy, improving system visibility, and implementing architectural improvements to enhance reliability and resilience.
