Mats Estensen

Hi! Welcome to my personal digital corner of the Internet!

I am a cloud architect living in Drammen, Norway currently working as a consultant at Sopra Steria. Working with IT since 2014 and as a full-time consultant since 2017.

I’m passionate about architecting and building modern infrastructure and platform solutions on public cloud platforms like Azure by using infrastructure-as-code and DevOps methodologies. I can fill roles as tech lead, architect, developer or advisor in complex projects or existing platform teams.

From 2012 to 2017 I studied nanotechnology (M.Sc.) at NTNU, Trondheim with one year abroad at the University of California Santa Barbara. Along my studies I worked part-time with IT infrastructure development and operations for three years (2014-2017), which led me into the IT business with a summer internship at Sopra Steria in 2016.

I am interested in cloud platforms, infrastructure-as-code, automation, DevOps, Linux, information security, programming challenges and much more. See more of my projects on my GitHub profile. You can also see my list of professional certifications.

I support free and open-source software, digital privacy and an open and democratic Internet.

While I am not busy working I enjoy going to concerts and listen to music, organizing music quizzes, jumping out of perfectly good planes, and enjoying life – all while looking out for new things to learn.
