Founder building European cloud infrastructure with a focus on control, transparency and open systems.
About
I am the founder of WAYSCloud AS, a Norwegian cloud and infrastructure company built on zero-knowledge architecture and customer-controlled encryption. We build infrastructure that stays in Europe, under European rules, with no vendor lock-in.
My work sits at the intersection of cloud architecture, operational security and digital sovereignty. I care about who controls the infrastructure that organisations depend on — and I believe that control should stay with the organisations themselves, not the platforms.
I write about the decisions, trade-offs and structures behind building reliable infrastructure at scale. Not theoretical. Based on what we build and operate.
Focus
- Cloud infrastructure
