Enterprise-AI Practitioner & Technical Project Manager

Context Engineering · Agentic AI · AI Enablement · Cloud & Legacy Modernisation

I make AI actually work inside large, regulated organisations. My differentiator is context engineering — building the structured context layer that turns AI tools from stalled demos into reliable, agentic participants in delivery. At Fremtind, one of Norway's largest insurers, I engineered a Confluence-based context layer and drove it with Atlassian Rovo to trace decisions and RAID and generate delivery-ready Jira tickets. I pair that hands-on grasp of how enterprise AI succeeds or fails with nearly two decades delivering complex, high-stakes technology programmes across insurance, aviation, retail, telecoms and e-commerce — in Norway, the UK and across Europe.

Technical Project Manager · Discipline Lead, Technology

Fremtind (Fremtind Consulting)·Oslo, Norway

Fremtind is one of Norway's largest insurance companies (~1,300 employees). Within the internal consulting team I lead strategic IT initiatives spanning cloud, enterprise architecture, AI adoption and partner integrations — with direct accountability for delivery and budget. Since Jan 2023 also Discipline Lead in Technology: setting technical direction, mentoring, and representing the team to leadership.

API Platform & Agentic Context Layer Dec 2025 – Present

Technical PM for a standardised, scalable API platform and Developer Portal letting partner banks integrate their journeys with Fremtind's insurance products — coordinating work down to core insurance systems, mapped with Wardley Mapping. I engineered a reusable context layer in Confluence — the initiative's structured "what" and "why" — and drove it with Atlassian Rovo to maintain, identify and trace decisions and RAID and to auto-generate delivery-ready Jira tickets: genuine agentic AI grounded in the project's own context.

AI-Assisted Software Development Oct 2025 – Present

Enabling 200+ developers to adopt AI — piloting Claude Code via AWS Bedrock. Established the secure AI tech stack with legal, security & compliance, defined usage policies and governance, and ran an AI competency workshop series for ~15 PMs using an AI-driven feedback loop. Leading the developer community's discussions on context and harness engineering.

Legacy Monolith Decomposition Jan 2024 – Mar 2025

Led a senior architecture programme recommending how to decompose the core legacy monolith into a modular, distributed architecture. Applied Wardley Mapping; provided C-suite the strategic options on which leadership based its directional decision.

Cloud Migration Programme Sep 2022 – Sep 2023

Migrated ~125 applications and databases from on-prem OpenShift to AWS — on a hard, penalty-clause deadline, on time, within ~15M NOK. Coordinated ~100 people across 9 teams and ran the full outsourcing procurement; on-time delivery protected ~12M NOK in cost exposure.
