Present
Knowit Experience Bergen

During my first year, I was primarily involved in maintenance and new development of Umbraco websites for various clients of Knowit Experience Bergen. This was typically full-stack development, covering everything from databases through C# to HTML/CSS/JS. Examples of clients: BNBank, Sylvsmidja, Centrum Trafikkskole, Avinor, Munck Cranes, and Tine Dairies. After that, I gradually started working with Fjordkraft, where I was involved with their website, as well as 'Min side' and 'salgsløypene'. Eventually, I also worked on Fjordkraft Mobile and TrøndelagKraft. These were primarily frontend-focused. In the fall of 2019, I began working on the Fjordkraft app. I've been working on the app, and Elmera's alliance apps, since then.

                In connection with the 100th anniversary of the first Sami national meeting, Ringve Museum in Trondheim had an exhibition celebrating Sami music during the fall of 2017. My contribution, in collaboration with composer Frode Fjellheim, was to create two audio stations where visitors could create their own joik. Practically, each station was equipped with a microphone and a set of buttons and potentiometers, microphone, and sound card.
