It all started when I was 11 years old and inherited my moms old computer, beginning my journey of computer games and watching silly videoes online. Eventually I started looking into design, and stumbled upon creating my first website, using exclusively HTML & CSS. It was bright, colourful, and looked awful - the way every first website should. Ever since, my curiosity for designing and programming things has only grown. Fast-forward to today, and I am studying a Bachelor's degree in Applied Computer Science, with the intention of becoming a full-stack developer.

When I'm not programming, I'm usually reading, hiking or skiing with my dog, or playing super-old Nintendo games. I'm currently obsessed with Zelda games from before the 2000s.

Some of the projects I've worked on.


Lørenskog Pensjonistforerning

As a school project in upper secondary school, I made a website in Wordpress for Lørenskog Pensioners Association. The website is still operating today, operated by Klara Pedersen - one of the members from the Pensioners Association who received training from me and my co-pupils.

HabbGames

HabbGames was a fun little website I created when I was 15 years old, it was the first ever "full-stack" program I made - without knowing what that meant at the time. The application consisted of a user-system with login/logout functionality, had a forum page, article-pages, and many more functions. It was used as a Habbo-co-page - Habbo is/was a popular online RPG-game. I don't have a lot of code or anything from the time of creating the website, but I have a few pictures and lots of memories. I decided to include this as a project of mine, as it is my first ever working application - I'm both proud and embarrassed when talking about HabbGames.
Oh, and it was created using HTML, CSS, JS, and lots of PHP, alongside a functional database.
