I’m a chemical engineer with experience across soap production, wheel manufacturing, paint production, and fish processing. I’ve worked across the full production chain—from adjusting raw materials and monitoring process parameters to surface treatments, e-coating, quality checks and final packing. I thrive when I’m close to the production line, solving problems calmly and systematically, and I’m comfortable with shift work and safety and quality routines. Outside of work I’m curious about technology, AI, and finance. I enjoy exploring AI tools, designing prompts, and sketching investment-related programs and simple trading bots using large language models. I apply Lean thinking to remove waste, keep processes simple, and find practical solutions. I’m seeking a role in Trondheim that combines my production experience with my interest in AI and digital tools.
