Bio

Mathematician with hacking skills at FINN.no and at the machine learning startup Arctic Datalab. Currently also back to academia at University of Oslo where I do an industrial PhD in stats and machine learning for FINN.no. Background from mathematics, statistics and financial modeling. Working on discovery, recommender systems and other machine learning tasks using behaviour, image and text. Often solved using bandits and bayesian statistics combined with neural net type of models. Frantically pushing out new models on finn.no for A/B tests (I am often sorry for the experimental group), slightly slower publishing ideas in pdf format. Previously risk manager at SIX Securities Services, quantitative modelling of risk. Main responsibilities included designing risk methodologies all the way from understanding the business to prototype building, model validation and specification to IT for implementation. In my spare time I enjoy the mountains.
