As a computer scientist with a Ph.D., I have extensive experience in academia and industry, working as a researcher, teacher, and project leader. My academic focus is on computer networking and distributed computing, with Master's and Ph.D. studies in applications of AI and optimal control theory in networking, respectively. I have also worked on research projects at the University of Oslo. In industry, I have contributed to software development, project management, and IT-based services creation. As a teacher, I have covered various computer science subjects and programming languages, planned full-stack development courses, and authored books on AI and software engineering.
