I'm a senior IT and cloud professional with 24 years in ICT, including 15 years as an Architect. I specialise in cloud architecture, cloud-native deployments, and IT security. I have led cloud migrations to Google Cloud and Azure, implemented Azure AKS migrations, and built robust observability with Grafana, Prometheus, and Loki. I also have hands-on experience with IAM, RA/VA, IT audits, and emergency preparedness. Most recently I led a proof-of-concept project migrating an RPA solution from on-prem Windows to an IaC-deployed Azure Virtual Desktop, achieving significant cost savings and licensing simplification. I enjoy technical leadership, MVP demonstrations, and driving incremental business value. I am seeking a new technical leadership role where I can align IT with strategic goals for Nordic organizations.
