RESUMÈ
I have been working with telecom since 2008; starting as a network technician for the norwegian national service provider Broadnet - from
2008 to 2013 - then as a senior consultant at Datametrix from May 2013 to September 2014. Since October 2014 I have been self-employed at
my own company (Nettmann AS) offering services as a technical consultant and project manager in enterprise and service provider networks.
My main customer has been Broadnet AS, and I have here worked with renewing the DSLAM platform, migration from legacy DSL-technologies
and being technical project manager for moving global service-provider Orange from one co-location site to another. I have also had some
smaller projects (redundant wan, controller-based wifi, scada network aggregation) for local businesses in the Bodø area.
I have mainly focused on Cisco but I have also worked with Juniper, Huawei (core and cpe routers), Extreme, Alcatel (DSLAM’s and routers) and
Zhone (DSLAM’s and DSL modems). For the fall semester 2015 I also teach “Datacom and security” at the University in Nordland. This is part-
time - with three two-hour lectures every other week.
I have an agreement with Broadnet to work full time until 31.12.2015 – commuting and working every other week in Bodø and Oslo.
PERSONALITY TYPE
INFP - Introverted Intuitive Feeling Perceiving
INFPs are imaginative idealists, guided by their own core values and beliefs. To a Healer, possibilities are paramount; the realism of the
moment is only of passing concern. They see potential for a better future, and pursue truth and meaning with their own individual flair. INFPs
are sensitive, caring, and compassionate, and are deeply concerned with the personal growth of themselves and others. Individualistic and
nonjudgmental, INFPs believe that each person must find their own path. They enjoy spending time exploring their own ideas and values, and
are gently encouraging to others to do the same. INFPs are creative and often artistic; they enjoy finding new outlets for self-expression.
