Security researcher and developer, Oslo
I work on software security, compete in CTFs, and ship products.
I recently earned a BSc in Cybersecurity at Høyskolen Kristiania, Bergen campus, and I am now pursuing an MSc in Information Security at NTNU, Gjøvik. I work across offensive security and software development: I like understanding exactly how a system fails, and then writing the code that makes the next failure visible.
I compete in CTFs, mostly crypto, pwn, and web, and I volunteer as a developer at Kvarteret studenthus. My current focus is whether AI coding tools actually produce secure code, the subject of my bachelor thesis and the idea behind Riposte, an agentic security CLI for offensive and defensive work that I build with Krister Eriksen.
An agentic security CLI in the spirit of Claude Code and Codex. Where those drive coding, Riposte drives offensive and defensive work: real recon, exploitation, and detection engineering. Every action is scope-gated and audited, so the agent can't go off-leash.
AI football analysis. A TypeScript and Bun monorepo that turns raw match footage into something you can ask questions of: upload a game or connect your usual analytic source, prompt it in plain language, and get answers anchored to the exact clips that back them. The hard part is the pipeline underneath, turning unstructured video into structured, searchable events and then back into watchable highlights.
Secure AI-Accelerated Development in Agile Workflows: A Framework for Small Teams. How small teams can fold AI-accelerated development into an agile workflow while balancing security, architecture, and reliability without losing innovation or parallel collaboration. The answer is SAIF, a five-part framework, grounded in a security experiment across four AI coding models and a semester building inside the ToSee AS startup. A group thesis with Krister Eriksen and Bendik Hagen.
Mostly crypto, pwn, and web. Three podium finishes, plus my strongest showing against a full open field at EPT.

I also write about security, AI risk, and critical infrastructure. Some research, some coursework, some from my own projects.
How an adversary actually takes down a power grid: the threat landscape from Industroyer-class ICS malware to supply-chain compromise and social engineering against operators. What defense-in-depth for critical infrastructure actually demands once the attacker is already inside. Built from my cyberwarfare coursework.
