Software and AI engineering leader with more than a decade across pharmaceutical R&D, enterprise platforms and scientific computing. I take a people-centred approach to leading cross-functional teams, setting product goals and technical direction while staying close to delivery. My experience combines production AI at Novo Nordisk, enterprise engineering enablement at LEGO and strategic AI advisory at Microsoft.
Software, Development Tools and AI Lead | Europe North
Guide major Nordic enterprises on generative-AI adoption across the software development lifecycle, combining strategic advisory with practical engineering experience. Demonstrate AI-assisted workflows and testing approaches inspired by formal verification.

Novo Nordisk
Principal Software Engineer
Led a cross-functional team of around 20 delivering a modern lab platform and a new agentic research application. Owned product vision, technical direction, migration strategy and delivery from concept to production. The team migrated 4 TB of historical data into a platform serving nearly 2,000 users. Built on Azure and Azure AI Foundry, the AI application combined retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), data processing and a custom UI integrated with an existing application to support experiment queries and scientific writing.
