I'm from Jessheim and currently live in Gjøvik, where I'm doing a master's in Information Security at NTNU.
Cybersecurity wasn't what I originally planned to study. In 2023, I had my sights set on economics and administration at Høgskulen på Vestlandet (HVL) in Bergen. The admission cutoff had risen that year. My grade average matched it, but I ended up on the waiting list.
That left me with an apartment in Bergen and about a month to find something else before the semester started. While looking at private universities, I came across cybersecurity at Kristiania and decided to give it a go.
During my time in Bergen, I started Cybvest, the cybersecurity student association. I also volunteered as a developer at Kvarteret studenthus.
My bachelor's also took me to Southern Utah University for an exchange semester in spring 2025. After graduating from Kristiania, I moved to Gjøvik to continue with a master's at NTNU.
Alongside my studies, I'm building Riposte with Krister Eriksen and working on Futtia. I also play CTFs with Quorra, mostly crypto, pwn, and web. And I support Rosenborg.
