Interests

Fitness

Fitness is a core aspect of my life, contributing significantly to my overall well-being and professional performance. Regular exercise not only keeps me physically fit but also enhances my mental resilience and stress management capabilities. Each workout presents new challenges, driving me to continuously improve my strength and health. Additionally, fitness has facilitated meaningful connections and enriching experiences, underscoring its transformative impact on both my personal and professional life.

Politics and Philosophy

My interest in politics and philosophy stems from their critical roles in shaping societal frameworks and intellectual discourse. Understanding political systems and ideologies is essential for informed decision-making and active participation in democratic processes. Engaging in political discussions stimulates my intellect and keeps me attuned to global developments. Philosophy, on the other hand, challenges my analytical skills and broadens my perspective by addressing fundamental questions about existence, ethics, and knowledge. Together, these fields enhance my critical thinking and provide deeper insights into the complexities of the world.

Professional Experience

System Consultant

Aug 2023 - Present

Orange Business, Oslo

As a member of the Service Delivery team at Orange Business, I manage cloud and on-premises infrastructures for a diverse customer base, ensuring optimal configurations and mission-critical solutions. I also serve as the technical account manager for two customers, providing personalized support and strategic guidance.

I collaborate with customers of all sizes, from small businesses to large enterprises, to address their unique needs. My responsibilities encompass setting up, maintaining, and optimizing environments, and ensuring seamless project execution.

My technology stack includes Kubernetes, Linux (RHEL), GitLab, Ansible, SQL (Postgres, MySQL, MSSQL), Python/Bash/PowerShell, TICK stack (Telegraf, InfluxDB, Chronograf, Kapacitor), Grafana, F5 BigIP, AWS, and Windows Server, among others, with a strong focus on automation and orchestration.

Operations Technician Apprentice

Aug 2021 - Aug 2023

Basefarm/Orange Business, Oslo

During my apprenticeship, I worked in the Operation Center, which served as the first line of support for customer requests and the alarm gateway. My primary responsibilities included handling events, incidents, changes, and service requests to ensure customer systems remained operational at all costs. In this role, I applied a comprehensive understanding of the OSI model, from hardware to application layers, and worked within the ITIL framework to streamline processes and improve service delivery.

With operational responsibility for hundreds of customers, troubleshooting and adapting to unfamiliar environments were part of my daily experience. This role required quick problem-solving skills and a deep understanding of various systems.

While not a formal manager, I was internally appointed as a team lead for the Incident Team (INO) and Change Team (CNO), coordinating team operations using ITIL principles. My leadership skills in these roles are evidenced by endorsements from team members, which can be viewed in the Skills section of my LinkedIn profile. Additionally, I was part of the maintenance team, where I acted as both a manager and coordinator, ensuring the smooth execution of monthly upgrades without unexpected downtime.

Towards the end of my apprenticeship, I worked in shifts, including night shifts where I operated alone, and served as a "senior."
