Elias | Software Engineer
I build software, infrastructure, and everything in between.
Full-stack engineer based in Norway. Writing Go at CGI, running my own infrastructure, and finishing computer engineering at UiA.
Experience
Jun 2025 - Present
Software Engineer, CGI
Writing Go services, working with Google Cloud (BigQuery, BigTable), and managing Kubernetes infrastructure with GitOps. Started on-site in Haugesund, went remote from September.
Aug 2023 - Jun 2026
B.Sc. Computer Engineering, UiA
Final semester. Three years of low-level systems, networking, algorithms, and full-stack development - plus the projects to show for it.
Selected work
Projects I've built - from booking platforms to operating systems.
A mobile loyalty app for a barber shop in Skien. Customers earn points through salon visits, redeem rewards, show QR codes, read news, and track membership tiers, while staff can scan visits, manage benefits, and follow customer activity.
Expo · React Native · TypeScript · Convex · Convex Auth
A set of production tools and sites for the streamer Detoo: the main community hub, the Goonathon event site, and a TikTok clip competition platform. Together they handle live stream embeds, social links, event schedules, guests, sponsors, top-gifter leaderboards, TikTok/Discord account linking, clip tracking, automated sync jobs, and admin workflows.
Next.js · React · TypeScript · Prisma
Infrastructure
My entire Kubernetes cluster, managed through code. ArgoCD handles deployments, Helm and Kustomize define the infrastructure, cert-manager handles TLS, and CloudNativePG runs Postgres. Everything is version-controlled.
GitOps · ArgoCD · CI/CD · Monitoring
Raven
Ticket system for the Supremacy festival. Attendees buy tickets, organizers manage events, and staff verify entries with QR scanning.
ASP.NET Core · C#
What I bring
Full-stack development
Frontend, backend, and databases - from React and Next.js to Go and C#, with PostgreSQL, BigQuery, and BigTable. I've taken projects from idea to production on my own.
Infrastructure & DevOps
I run my own Kubernetes cluster with ArgoCD, cert-manager, and monitoring. At CGI, I work with Google Cloud daily. Infrastructure is just as important as the code it runs.
From idea to product
Building real projects has taught me that good code is only part of the job. You need to understand what actually needs to be built, ship fast, and make sure things work over time.
