About me

👋 Hello! I’m Kristoffer. I like to build infrastructure as products.

I’m a hands-on infrastructure architect and technical leader with more than two decades of experience across agencies, fintech, the public sector, startups and entrepreneurship.

Currently I work with teams and stakeholders at JP/Politikens Hus, where I:

  • Help define and implement the company’s technical strategy
  • Modernize legacy platforms and infrastructure
  • Analyze and plan hybrid infrastructure migrations
  • Build and maintain infrastructure for digital product teams
  • Focus on strategies for cost saving, security, business continuity and emission control
  • Collaborate across businesses and stakeholders to secure buy-in and define technical vision

For these purposes I often use these things:

  • Amazon Web Services
  • Microsoft Azure
  • VMWare
  • Terraform
  • CloudFormation
