A longer version
I’m a software engineer with 20+ years across national border infrastructure, telecom network optimization, banking and energy — based in Oslo, Norway. I design and build distributed, event-sourced systems on .NET, with deep F# and C#, CQRS/DDD and Akka.NET. O’Reilly-published author, creator of FCQRS, workshop facilitator at DDD Europe — I care as much about how a design is taught as how it runs, which is why half of Novian Works is consulting and the other half is training.
