Summary

I am a Software Engineer with extensive experience in different industries and covering a wide range of responsibilities. My passion lies in Distributed Systems, IT Infrastructure, and Computer Security. 

During the last decade, I have applied this knowledge to ensure large Enterprises can harvest the full potential of Cloud Computing (in Private, Public, and Hybrid setups) while being able to lower risk and retain control over their digital assets.

 

I have succeeded in transforming large organizations, helping them achieve outstanding quality and velocity, by combining my passion for technology with my people skills to facilitate, influence, and inspire.

Professional Experience

External Consultant - Site Reliability Engineer
Schibsted

2022-07 - 2023-10

I am helping Schibsted teams in Scandinavia migrate all re-commerce brands

(Tori, Finn, Dba, Blocket, Bilbasen, etc.) from different multiple cloud vendors to

a unified platform in GCP.

My focus is on designing and securing the Infrastructure platform and its

offerings so that development teams can easily pick and choose the required

infrastructure for their applications, reusing standard solutions and settings.

I am also supporting the development team in order to efficiently use the

infrastructure offerings, and perform migration by guiding them through PoCs or

actual solution development when necessary.

Finally, I collaborate with other industries within the wider organization (such as

media, finance, etc.) in order to bring our advances in infrastructure automation

beyond the re-commerce verticals.

External Consultant - Site Reliability Engineer
eBay

2021-03 - 2022-06

I have helped eBay teams in Scandinavia migrate all systems from on-prem data

centers to the AWS Cloud.

The migration of these systems used by millions of users at any time of the day

or night was completed with zero downtime, ahead of all forecasts, while

creating crucial improvements to the general architecture and toolset used by

our client's engineering teams.
In particular, we have migrated large monolithic systems into microservices,

improved security by implementing intelligent and automatic defenses against

multiple types of attacks, and considerably reduced (more than 60% in some

cases) cloud infrastructure usage costs through analysis and FinOps operations

Cloud Architect and Developer
STARK Group

2020-07 - 2021-02

Together with my team, we have migrated essential workloads from the legacy

mainframe platform to new multi-cloud environments in only three months,

resolving painful technical debt.

We have supported the data teams in taking ownership of the new pipelines

delivering near-real-time data to ensure internal resources could operate and

continuously improve the new systems with confidence.

We have supported top management in the organizational transformation

necessary to maximize the benefits that Agile and Cloud-Native Development

can bring to the company.

Among many other benefits, this has reduced the cost of maintaining the

infrastructure by 30%.

Cloud Architect and Developer
TARGIT

2020-01 - 2021-02

My team and I worked with the customer's IT organization to deliver a new

cloud application, reusing 80% of the legacy code already in use.

The new Target Cloud Suite created in a short time a previously non-existent

revenue stream, attracting new customers and partners while drastically

reducing their time-to-market.

I acted as Lead Architect, continuously focusing on ensuring the team on the

customer side retained the knowledge of the new systems and was constantly

participating in the decisional process and the development efforts.

Furthermore, thanks to our products and services, the need for consultants and

technicians required to manage the IT infrastructure has been reduced by 70%.

Head of the Customer Circle
BESTSELLER

2018-09 - 2020-01

As Head of the Customers Circle at BESTSELLER, I had full responsibility for the IT systems supporting our wholesale customers, generating more than 60% of the overall BESTSELLER yearly revenue. With more than 30 direct reports I had the ownership of our ERP system, a legacy system developed almost entirely on stored procedures. In 3 months my teams succeeded in changing mindsets, and learning new technology and new delivery practices. We went into production with several micro-services, beginning the migration from a monolithic architecture while continuously delivering business value.
I moreover supported the agile transformation in the whole IT organization and collaborated across the industry in order to define new integration standards.
Head of Software Engineering
Danske Bank

2018-03 - 2018-09

As Head of Software Engineering at Danske Bank, I took over the responsibility of improving our private cloud setup, allowing major workloads to run on the new infrastructure. Besides spreading best practices and knowledge across Group IT, we have identified several bottlenecks in the way we delivered on our enterprise capabilities, and succeeded in reducing time-to-market considerably.
Several roles up to Chief Software Architect
Danske Bank

2011-09 - 2018-03

In Danske Bank, I have been working as an Engineer in different departments related to IT Security, Infrastructure, and lastly at the Application Layer. In the last 4 years of this experience, I have been covering the role of Chief Software Architect for a big international department of several hundred people. I have been in charge of the security, operations, and development of a big subset of the portfolio of customer-facing IT solutions for private customers for instance the mobile and tablet bank, the web banking services, advisory services, and so on. I have been an ambassador in the whole organization for embracing evolutionary architecture, continuous integration and delivery practices, and a DevSecOps mindset which has proven to be essential to improving time to market while ensuring an outstanding level of quality and security.
