01 / About

Bridging cloud, data, and engineering craft.

I'm fascinated by data and love making systems talk to each other. As an Operations Engineer at Netcompany I build and run Azure cloud infrastructure across multiple projects — leaning hard on Terraform, Azure DevOps, and the FinOps mindset to keep things maintainable and cost-aware.

Before that, I spent several years at Doctors Without Borders (MSF) as a Data Scientist and Data Engineer — leading a platform migration to Microsoft Fabric, building ETL pipelines in a medallion architecture on Azure, integrating REST APIs (VippsMobilePay, Salesforce Marketing Cloud), and shipping Power BI reporting used by fundraisers and the board.

My background started in construction engineering (DTU), and I moved into tech through a Master's in Data Science at ITU. That mix — site delivery, analytics, and now cloud — is how I approach problems: real constraints first, clean abstractions second.

02 / Experience

A decade across construction, data, and the cloud.
