About Me

Experienced Senior System Engineer with 10+ years of experience working with high-availability systems. I currently work for Siemens Norway, helping our Nordic customers by installing, configuring, troubleshooting, and supporting their Spectrum Power (SCADA) systems. Because I've been working in an international environment and have always had to deal with colleagues from other countries, one of my strengths is my ability to communicate effectively with people from various cultures. I'm always enthusiastic about learning and undertaking new challenges.
