Bartending taught me how small details create great experiences. I’ve carried that obsession into software: I build solid backends and keep stretching into frontend work to deliver polished, user-friendly products end to end.
Alongside my informatics degrees at NTNU I spent three and a half years behind the bar at Studentersamfundet, the round red house in Trondheim, where the small things are the job.
In 2025 I founded Pharus Development to build projects of my own, next to my work as a system developer at Knowit. The sites above come from there.
