## Teaching assistant at UiO

In 2020 I started working as a teaching assistant at UiO. I decided to do this because I
love talking about and teaching programming and specifically algorithms and datastructures
to other people.

I TA'ed in the following courses:

- Fall 2020: Algorithms and datastructures
- Spring 2021: Object-oriented programming
- Fall 2021: Algorithms and datastructures
- Spring 2022: Intro to object-oriented programing
- Fall 2022: Algorithms and datastructures

For the algorithms and datastructures course I was actively working to create a
competitive-programming environment at UiO. This involved hosting contests and showing
students how they could get started on platforms such as Kattis.

For the fall of 2020 I was awarded the "most engagement from TA" prize by the student
administration.

# Bekk internship

For the summer of 2021, I worked at Bekk Consulting, where I was a technical consultant for
Wenn, an AI startup with a focus on computer vision services on cars.

We were tasked with improving their computer vision services by handling and processing a large
amount of data, for usage in training machine-learning models.

To generate and process data we used Python, Pandas and PIL, and worked with AWS services such
as S3 and EC2

## Master's degree at UiO

I finished my master's degree at UiO in 2023. My thesis explored the problem of finding
duplicated code in large codebases for usage in editors. Read more about it
[here](/blog/posts/masterthesis).

During my master's degree I completed courses on topics such as:

- Compilers and static analysis
- Concurrency models
- Platform ecosystems
- Software testing
- Security

I finished my master's degree with only A grades, including the thesis itself.

## Microsoft internship

For the summer of 2022, I interned at Microsoft in their Oslo office. For close to three
months I was working as a full-time front-end engineer on "People experiences" which
is shipped in various Microsoft products, such as Outlook and Teams.

The main feature I worked on was a part of the "profile card" where one could browse an
organization-hierarchy, seeing who reports to who and quickly navigating between people in
the same team.

I implemented this feature for Mobile and MacOS platforms, utilizing React Native with
Typescript.

After the internship, I signed with Microsoft to come back full-time after my masters
thesis was finished.

## Microsoft

After completing my masters thesis, I started working at Microsoft in the fall of 2023,
where I had interned the summer before. I joined the People Experiences group where I have
worked on several different products which are integrated in the M365 ecosystem. I've
worked primarily on front-end development using React and Typescript, but I've also
dabbled in .NET development when needed. The products I've worked on are used by hundreds
of millions users worldwide and are some of the most essential features in the M365
ecosystem.

Another component of my work has been more targeted towards infrastructure and testing. I
was part of a team that migrated an existing product from using the Apollo GraphQL
library, to Relay, following the [Nova pattern](https://github.com/microsoft/nova-facade/).
With that, I took the initiative to write some of the infrastructure to test and write
storybooks for our components. This has now become a part of the nova-facade repo
[here](https://github.com/microsoft/nova-facade/tree/main/packages/nova-react-test-utils)
