Senior Software Engineer - Complex Problems Specialist 🇳🇴

Based in Bergen, Norway, I'm a Senior Software Engineer with 13+ years of experience solving complex technical challenges that require human expertise and strategic thinking. I specialize in problems where AI tools fall short and deep experience matters.

When You Need a Human, Not an AI

I solve the problems that ChatGPT, Copilot, and other AI tools can't:

  • Complex Architecture Decisions: Trade-off analysis requiring contextual judgment
  • Legacy System Modernization: Untangling 10+ year old codebases without documentation
  • Performance at Scale: Solving bottlenecks in systems serving millions
  • Technical Debt Resolution: Strategic approaches to reduce 40-80% response times
  • Creative Problem Solving: Innovative solutions beyond existing patterns

What Makes Senior Engineering Different

After 13+ years in the trenches, I bring:

  • Pattern Recognition: I've seen (and solved) these problems before
  • Strategic Thinking: Understanding business impact, not just technical solutions
  • Risk Assessment: Knowing what will break before it does
  • Human Judgment: Making decisions AI can't make with incomplete information
  • Crisis Management: Rescued multiple $1M+ projects from failure

Specialized Expertise Areas

Complex Problem Solving

When your team is stuck on problems that require more than Stack Overflow:

  • Architecture refactoring without disrupting business
  • Performance issues that profilers can't identify
  • Scaling challenges beyond standard patterns
  • Integration nightmares with undocumented systems

Legacy Modernization

Transforming systems others won't touch:

  • Migrating monoliths to microservices (500K+ users, zero downtime)
  • Upgrading frameworks 5+ versions behind
  • Reverse-engineering business logic from code
  • Creating documentation for undocumented systems

Technical Leadership

Guiding teams through critical decisions:

  • Architecture reviews and recommendations
  • Technology selection for 5-year horizons
  • Team mentoring on complex implementations
  • Code quality transformation initiatives

Real Impact, Not Just Code

My consulting delivers measurable results:

  • 40-80% reduction in response times through optimization
  • 90 days to rescue failing enterprise projects
  • Zero downtime migrations for 500K+ user systems
  • $2M+ saved through strategic technical decisions

The "Vibe Coded" Approach

Some problems need human intuition - the ability to "feel" what's wrong when metrics look fine. This is where 13+ years of experience becomes invaluable. I bring the human element that makes the difference between technically correct and actually right.
