01 · STENCILED HISTORY
The Story & The Wall
Back in the early 90s, a teenager in Frosta was building software for fun — and running a DOS / DESQview BBS out of a bedroom. The system never slept. Neither did he.
Since then the work spread across startups and enterprises in Norway, Germany and the US — building media platforms serving millions, and automating everything that stood still long enough to be automated.
Today: senior software engineer at DNB in Oslo, still doing DevOps. Sometimes the paint drips. That’s part of the art.
BBS sysop. Bedroom datacenter. Zero cloud.

The CPAN Wall
Open source since the 90s — nine distributions on CPAN, and a few more sprayed on GitHub. Mostly Perl, some C#; always the boring-but-important stuff like URL normalisation and Norwegian syllables.
