Background
I’m completing a master’s in informatics at NTNU, with expected graduation in summer 2027.
My previous degrees are in informatics, philosophy, and history. Alongside my studies and engineering work, I develop software for iOS and the web.
Mantinomia is the project I intend to keep working on throughout my life. It draws on ideas I have collected for about ten years, with the aim of making freely available texts easier to read and use for generations to come. My other apps address more immediate, everyday needs.
