I started in the server room - not the boardroom.
I’ve spent 15 years in IT, beginning with hands-on support and infrastructure, moving through DevOps and development leadership, and ending up in enterprise architecture roles.
I am a hands-on builder at heart. I get the most satisfaction from spotting inefficiency, automating processes, and making sure things actually work in production.
From the server rack to the boardroom.
I started in 2012 in a server room, not a boardroom. Carrying a solo pager for night/weekend shifts at HostNordic and Venzo Hosting taught me more about architecture than any textbook ever could. When you're the one fixing a broken RAID array or a broken SAN at 3 AM, you learn to value logic and production stability over theoretical diagrams.
That hands-on foundation followed me as I moved through DevOps and development leadership. At Hosters and Sentia, I stopped just fixing infrastructure and started engineering the business logic that operations depend on, building custom CRM/CMDB systems to consolidate Danish acquisitions and eventually leading technical mergers across four countries as an Enterprise Architect.
Architecture is an act of construction.
I believe the greatest architectural failures happen when the person drawing the diagram doesn't understand the code. To prevent that, I stay deep in the stack. Whether I'm leading the technical separation for a €150M+ carve-out to Accenture or building a production-grade SaaS like CreateBooksAI, my approach is the same: strip away the fluff, find the logical path, and build for production.
Building CreateBooksAI wasn't a "playground" exercise. It was a solution to a real market gap in character consistency for independent authors. I designed, developed, and deployed the full stack because a senior architect should be able to deliver an end-to-end solution, not just advice.
