I have years of experience at the crossroads between computer science and language, and a formal background on theoretical and computational linguistics. My most recent academic work is in the field of Distributional Semantics.

I am currently a senior consultant at Acando Norge. I specialise on computational linguistics and NLP.

Between 2014 and 2016, I worked on real-time statistics from newsfeeds, sentiment analysis, document classification and interactive data visualisation. My main development languages right now are Python (Numpy, Scipy, Pandas, ScikitLearn) and Javascript (Angular, D3), but I have previously worked with R (statistics), PHP and Perl (hey, I was alive in the 90s!). I also read and maintain Java and C/C++, but have never carried out large projects with them.

I am based in Oslo, Norway, where I live with my two children. I am a single father.
