Alexander Kvalvaag

Based in Stavanger, Norway. Open from summer 2027

I build useful software, front to back.

Web apps, cloud infrastructure, data pipelines and applied AI. Two summers as a developer at Stø, currently finishing an MSc in Computer Science at the University of Stavanger.

The rest of the time I write open-source tools and run a homelab that is comfortably bigger than one person needs.
