About

I design and run IT operations that stay calm when the organization grows. Across 300+ employees and multiple European offices, I have owned infrastructure, access, onboarding, and the internal tools that keep daily work moving without unnecessary noise.

Before proposing a solution, I map who is affected and what actually blocks them. That discipline — stakeholder clarity first, technology second — is how I reduce cost, cut manual work, and earn trust during change.

My background spans management engineering and IT systems design at Aalborg University. I mentor IT students, build when off-the-shelf tools fall short, and bring the same execution bias to music production: finish what you start, refine until it works.

How I build

Clarity first

Readable systems and documentation so teams can operate without depending on one person.

Cloud when it earns its place

Scale and reliability where they matter; simplicity where they do not.

Security by habit

Access, data, and change handled with the assumption that mistakes are expensive.
