I have contributed significantly to Oracle’s Integration Cloud platform, especially the entire Connectivity part which enables integration between diverse systems like SAP, Salesforce, ServiceNow, Workday, and Oracle’s SaaS products. Motivated by complex problems, new technology, and competition, I seek opportunities where I can continue working with Cloud Native technologies to benefit Danish companies.
I am a team-oriented individual with a cheerful disposition and good humor. I take responsibility for my tasks and strive to deliver quality software that is readable, error tolerant, configurable, and performant. Outside of work, I enjoy mountain activities, gardening, house renovation, and reading historical and computer science non-fiction, and I am also actively involved in local voluntary work.
