Map D develops digital tools for building surveyors, helping streamline reusability and environmental assessments for existing buildings. As the sole developer, I designed, built, and deployed a full-featured platform from the ground up, taking it from concept to paying pilot customers in under a year.

• Architected and implemented the entire platform across backend, frontend, and cloud infrastructure.
• Built an AI-powered photo recognition pipeline that translated complex Norwegian building codes and environmental requirements into a digital logic layer, automating compliance checks for surveyors.
• Developed tools for floor plan upload, annotation, and data enrichment to support on-site surveying.
• Automated the generation of standardized environmental reports, improving efficiency and consistency.

Trendable is a platform delivering data-driven insights on food and beverage products and trends in the Norwegian market. I joined at an early stage to help turn a static prototype into a customer-facing product. My work focused on building out the interactive frontend components that powered Trendable’s analytics dashboards, as well as a lightweight data delivery layer for the backend.

• Integrated the Mapbox Directions API to build route optimization tools for local producers, alongside a consumer facing store locator map.
• Created customer-facing CRM tools and geospatial visualizations for location-based insights.
• Developed a lightweight backend integrating AWS S3 data exports into a Next.js frontend.
• Implemented secure user authentication with AWS Cognito and data management with DynamoDB.

Again X develops digital tools for sustainability and environmental data management in the proptech sector. I began as a UX designer and transitioned into frontend development, working on data visualization and user interface systems that connect AI and data science outputs with intuitive user experiences.

• Designed and developed interactive dashboards visualizing sustainability KPIs for building portfolios.
• Collaborated with data and AI teams to connect backend pipelines to performant frontends.
• Built modular React components and Mapbox-based visualizations for real estate data.
• Created Figma prototypes and design systems ensuring consistent UX/UI across projects.

Worked independently with a range of small businesses and organizations to design and build digital experiences. Projects spanned web design, branding, and front-end development, forming a foundation for later work in full-stack and cloud-based applications.

• Designed and developed responsive websites for local businesses including gyms, fitness centers, and climbing companies, from concept to deployment.
• Created brand identities and visual assets, including logos, typography systems, and digital collateral using Adobe Creative Suite and Figma.
• Delivered end-to-end web projects using platforms such as WordPress, Squarespace, and Wix, as well as custom HTML/CSS implementations.
• Collaborated directly with clients to translate business goals into clear design solutions and maintain long-term site performance and updates.
