Worked as a senior developer at Shortcut, the leading Norwegian app development agency. Collaborating closely with UI/UX designers, I helped ship many high-profile apps while working across Android, web front-end and backend services. I also served as the designated mentor for our junior developers throughout my time at the company.

NSB Underholdning: A high-profile app which the Norwegian State Railways (NSB) provides to its customers. For users with recent train tickets, the app provides free audio books, podcasts, music and more. I ironed out the system architecture of the project and developed the initial Android version of the app. Though faced with a challenging deadline, the project shipped on-time, and is used daily by thousands of commuters. Technologies used included the Android media APIs, Butterknife, Gradle, Picasso, Retrofit, Ruby on Rails, AWS and more.

NAF Bilen Min: This app was part of a major effort on part of the Norwegian Automobile Federation (NAF) to create new, rich digital services for their customers.

The project shipped on time, on budget and had multiple tens of thousands of users as of Q3 2015. Technologies used included the Butterknife, Gradle, Picasso, Retrofit, Ruby on Rails, JRuby and more.
