AndreasValdal
I'm passionate about software development and deployment, having always been fascinated by technology and problem-solving.
What drives me most is the compounding nature of the work: every challenge I tackle sharpens my ability to face the next one.
My strongest experience so far is in React, Kotlin and Docker. Right now I work in Next.js and FastAPI, deploying to Kubernetes on Azure, alongside the operations side: infrastructure as code with Terraform and Ansible, configuration management and monitoring, with practical work on OpenStack. The interest is in following an application through its whole lifecycle, along with the services around it.
Computas
2026 — presentDeveloper, part-time
Building and deploying web services alongside studies. Working across the stack in Next.js and FastAPI, deploying to Kubernetes on Azure, and coordinating directly with the customer to understand what they actually need.
MSc Applied Computer and Information Technology
2026 — 2028Cloud-based Services & Operations · OsloMet
A specialisation in how internet services are built, deployed and kept alive: containers, IaaS and PaaS, scaling, site reliability engineering, automation, and the monitoring and configuration management that hold a service together over its lifetime. Practical work runs on OpenStack.
Currently taking

BSc Information Technology
2023 — 2026Frontend & Mobile Development · Høyskolen Kristiania
Three years spent building interfaces and applications end to end — native mobile on both platforms, the web stack, and the fundamentals underneath: systems programming in C, algorithms, and object-oriented design.
BSc Philosophy
2017 — 2020Minor in psychology · University of Oslo
Before the technology degrees. Mostly ethics, metaphysics and philosophy of mind, with a minor in psychology. It is where I learned to take an unclear problem apart, hold an argument to a standard, and write about it precisely.
Portfolio website
This portfolio website. Integrates with Sanity CMS for content management, and uses GSAP and Lenis for smooth scrolling and animations. Currently deployed on Azure. It previously ran on the two-node Kubernetes cluster at home, with ArgoCD handling continuous deployment.
Homelab
View on GitHub ↗A Kubernetes cluster built from old machines I repurposed to learn how applications actually get deployed to the internet. It ran my old website, Linkwarden with a Postgres database and a Minecraft server, with Tailscale for remote access to the cluster.
Sleep App
View on GitHub ↗Mobile application that interacts with device API to trigger alarm on phone at the user specified time. Works on iOS and Android, thanks to kotlin multiplatform and Compose multiplatform.
