I am a full-stack Software Developer, Author and Conference organizer.

In August 2012 I started a company, Haagen Software, with the long-term goal of creating a fully open sourced Application Monitoring solution, Montric. I am currently busy on bootstrapping my company as well as Montric, while working as a senior consultant within both Java and Web technologies.

I am the author of Ember.js in Action, an Ember.js book that will be published in November 2013 by publishing experts Manning Publications. If you would like to get a head start on the Ember.js all chapters are available through the Manning Early Access Program right now!

From January to May 2014, I will be teaching a programming course for children aged 11 to 16. In the process, I hope to be able to write an open source and freely available book with the contents and the results. You can support our efforts via IndieGoGo!

Together with a handful of dedicated people from the European Ember.js community, I am leading the organization of an annual Ember.js related European conference called Ember Fest.

I am a member of the Board at the Java User Group in Norway (javaBin), where we host monthly meetings throughout Norway, as well as one of Europes larges tech conference, JavaZone.
