Oslo, Norway Originally Hammerfest B.Sc. Informatics, UiO 2025

Adrian Klo Gamst.

Recent informatics graduate building full-stack systems for the cloud. From salmon pens in Finnmark to engineering work in Oslo — looking for graduate roles in 2026.

I grew up in Hammerfest, 600 kilometres above the Arctic Circle. I spent two summers working as a fish farmer at Cermaq — feeding, monitoring fish health, and maintaining sea pens in production volumes north of 100 tonnes — before moving south in 2022 to study informatics at the University of Oslo.

I finished my bachelor's in 2025 with a specialisation in programming and systems architecture. My interests are squarely on the backend and cloud side: building things that hold up in production, getting CI/CD right, and writing the kind of documentation a stranger could pick up six months later.

"I'd rather ship something small that runs reliably than something ambitious that breaks under load."

I completed mandatory military service in early 2022 and now serve as deputy squad leader (nestlagfører) in HV-17, the Home Guard district covering Finnmark. Outside of work I train at the gym, spend time outdoors, and read more nonfiction than is probably healthy.

Education

University of Oslo

B.Sc. Informatics: Programming & Systems Architecture · 2022 — 2025

Studied at the Department of Informatics. Coursework spans the full software stack — from operating systems and networks to algorithms, databases, machine learning, and two semesters of team-based software engineering project work.

Service

Norwegian Armed Forces

Conscript Service Sept. 2021 — Feb. 2022 · HV-17 (Active)

Completed mandatory military service. Now serves as deputy squad leader (nestlagfører) in HV-17, the Home Guard district covering Finnmark. Has taught me everything you'd expect: discipline, planning under pressure, and operating in environments where the rules of engagement actually matter.
