Leading the Norwegian JUG in Oslo, Java Champion, speaker, developer and principal officer at NAV IT (Norwegian gov).
I'll be giving several talks in the weeks ahead, about how modern Java helps writing more expressive code with higher code quality, through a combination of "back to basics" ideas & FP-inspired data structures. To help my own community, I'll be focusing on Norwegian conferences, meetups and events.

A couple of weeks ago, I gave a talk about higher code quality using modern Java for the students at Oslo Metropolitan University. A lot of questions before and after the talk made the evening even better! Thanks for having me OsloMet 🙏🏼

Yesterday we had the honor of hosting @venkats.bsky.social with his highly relevant talk about design tradeoffs. Being able to fill a room of ppl in a Monday evening in Oslo is unusual! I’m grateful for Venkat’s energy and passion from the stage. 🙏🏼🙏🏼 Here some photos from the event. #javabin #oswa

In addition: I volunteered on projects specifically focusing on helping underrepresented & multicultural women closer to Java & JavaScript jobs. For me, championing means building community through volunteering to helping others. I met with so many great devs this year, feels deeply meaningful.
My 2025 review:
🎄 18 JavaBin & Oslo Software Architecture meetups
🎄 9 conference & meetup talks
🎄 70 hours of free mentoring to underrep. developers
🎄 60 hours as voluntary JUG steering committee member
🎄 400 more JUG members, totaling 3550
🎄 67k people reached on LinkedIn, with 330k impressions

A few weeks ago, I gave a keynote talk at the DataSmart 2025 conference in Trondheim. I discussed a multi-agentic system I built with #Java and open-source tools (no frameworks), emphasizing the importance of ethics. It was one of my first tech keynotes ever, and I’m grateful for the support.

More photos! Our Christmas meetup was great! For me, being a #Java Champion, is all about community. It’s about the people, our speakers and members. Also important is honoring heroes such as Steinar Kjærnsrød, on the picture with me, who was one of the original founders of JavaBin 30 years ago 🙏🏼🏆🎄

Our JavaBin Christmas meetup about #AI and #Java was a huge success, with a record turnout on our event🎄🏆 Our speakers, local heroes from our community, did amazing 👏🏼 We also served free Christmas dinner for all the attendees in true JavaBin tradition and quality. Super proud of my JUG and our team.

A seriously good talk by @venkats.bsky.social today 🏆 It’s not another hype talk; you really learn how to use of AI with techniques in TDD in a way that give you control & understanding of the code. Two incredible hours of live coding, discussions & inspiration. Congrats Venkat, and thank you 🙏🏼

We, the Norwegian JUG, are hosting the “Test Driving Code with the Help of AI” talk with @venkats.bsky.social. The room is packed & Venkat is talking about how to model, build and test the Game of Life problem with AI & TDD. Venkat’s ability to convey knowledge is without comparison. Thanks Venkat 🙏🏼

The Norwegian #Java User Group in Oslo concluded the year with our annual Christmas meetup. I did a talk with Jørn Baltzersen about AI & automation.
A huge thanks to all the amazing people in our community who made 2024 great. Community is team work and people who believe in & help each other.

I did my very first keynote talk on engineering management, and the importance of applying kindness into engineering practice. I believe it’s more important than ever before. My deepest gratitude to Remarkable for inviting me and trusting me with the honor of sharing this important topic.

Meeting Bjarne Stroustrup was a lifetime memory & among the many insights he had was the history of OO, including the Simula language. Among the things we talked about were the origins of the “class” keyword. Here is the Simula-paper from 1967 telling you about that 🙂

It has been an amazing evening, as I met & had dinner with Bjarne Straoustrup. Listening to his talk on modern #C++ in Univ of Bergen today + hearing his thoughts & advices about coding means so much. I rarely met anyone with such a deep insight into coding langs. A day to remember & a nice memory!

Did a talk about FP-style coding with #Java 23 for our Norwegian community in the west coast of Norway a week ago. Amazing nature, scenery, fjords and the cleanest and coldest water straight from the river. If you wanna see fjords then Sogndal is the place, & with a community talk is even better.
