I help teams get rid of the repetitive work nobody loves, without replacing it with a fragile bot everyone has to babysit. Sometimes that means AI agents. Often it means boring, reliable automation that simply gets the job done.

Insights
Notes from the automation floor.
Short, practical writing on agents, RPA, maintainability, and the small design choices that decide whether automation saves time or creates a new hobby for operations.
Stop Making AI Agents Think on Every Run
AI agents are brilliant explorers. Production systems usually want the boring path: think once, generate deterministic automation, then run fast.
What Makes Automation Maintainable?
A practical view of automation quality: architecture, observability, handover, governance, and team ownership.
About
I make automation less mysterious and more useful.
I started in hardware, which is a great way to learn respect for smoke. Software turned out to be kinder to debug, so I moved into automation and never really left.
Today I work as a Senior Advisor at Sykehuspartner, building and shaping automation that has to survive real operations: healthcare workflows, UiPath architecture, agentic engineering, scripts, audits, handovers, and all the tiny edge cases that love showing up at 15:58 on a Friday.
I have helped deliver more than 60MNOK in value by making slow, manual, fragile work easier to trust. The goal is not to make robots look clever. The goal is to give people back time without creating a new mess for them to babysit.
I also teach teams how to build this stuff properly. Sometimes that means AI agents. Sometimes it means a plain script with good logging. The trick is knowing which one deserves the job.

Experience
From delivery to operating model.
A career across public service, consulting, healthcare, and automation delivery. The throughline is dependable execution: understanding the environment, designing for constraints, and making the solution maintainable by the people who inherit it.

How I help
From vague automation idea to something people trust.
This is the practical bit: pick the right work, build it without drama, and make sure the team can live with it after launch.
Find the useful work
We separate automation gold from "this would make a fun demo" ideas, then estimate effort, value, risk, and who needs to own it.

Build the boring path
Once the route is known, the solution should run fast, log clearly, fail loudly, and avoid asking a model to rediscover the same screen all day.

Leave people in control
The handover matters: readable logic, sensible monitoring, test cases, and a team that knows when to use an agent and when to write a script.
