Founder & CEO, Luminik · Oslo, Norway
3x technical founder. Today I'm building Luminik, and Alfred in the open.
Impact
Built a workforce-analytics platform used heavily in PE and growth-equity due diligence, as venture CTO, and took it from zero to $3.6M ARR in 15 months. I owned the data infrastructure it ran on, and moved the warehouse to Snowflake as the analytical load grew.
Founded a multi-agent platform that connects B2B event spend to revenue. I closed the first contract at $48K before the product existed, by running the workflow with scripts, spreadsheets and decks.
From 43,000 registered attendees to 1,840 ICP matches and meetings booked on the floor. Lead-to-opportunity reached 8%, up from 1.3% the year before, roughly 6x.
Work
Founder and operator across GTM tech, private equity, field service, and investment management.
Founder
A Snowflake cost-optimization tool. It was used by one of the global top-3 consulting firms, and the conversations while building it surfaced the bigger problem that became Luminik.
Venture CTO
Took a workforce-analytics SaaS platform, used heavily in PE and growth-equity due diligence, from concept to $3.6M ARR in 15 months. Owned product, architecture, and the engineering team, and built the data infrastructure: a medallion warehouse on Snowflake with a Cube.js semantic layer, plus Lightcast and BLS taxonomies for comparable workforce data.
Co-founder & CTO
Field-service management SaaS for maintenance companies across Europe. Built and launched the MVP solo in 3 months, raised a $2.7M seed, and scaled the team to about 15 across five countries.
6x more of the room, from the same booth. 1.3% of RSA to 8%.
Approach
A few principles I keep coming back to.
I work next to the people who have the problem, so the product comes from what they do day to day.
The real work is the cases that break: evals, a judge I have calibrated, and adversarial tests, so I know how a system behaves before customers see it.
I write the code, review it, and read what the system produces in the wild. This kind of work does not lead well from a distance.

Writing
Hands-on writing on AI-native engineering, evals, durable workflows, and the operator side of building companies.
Why OCR is harder than it looks, why the public datasets are skewed Latin, and why production offline OCR still runs on classical and CNN/transformer engines like `Tesseract`, Apple `Vision`, `ML Kit`, and `PaddleOCR` rather than a full VLM on the phone.
A realtime chat UI is easy with one server. The hard part starts when a message for user A arrives on a server that does not hold A's socket. This is a primer on why WebSockets are different to scale, the pub/sub backplane that fixes the fan-out, and the connection, presence, backpressure, and reconnect problems you inherit by keeping the connection open.
A primer on the real-time web protocols, derived from scratch: what problem each one solves, how it works on the wire, when to use which, and how HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 (QUIC) change the tradeoffs. With real-world analogies and connection-model diagrams.
