Hello! I’m Stine Elise Larsen, a passionate IT architect, consultant, and technology advocate from Norway. I’ve spent my career helping businesses design and implement efficient, secure, and innovative IT solutions that drive growth and improve operational efficiency. I currently work for Proact in Norway.

With a diverse background across multiple areas of IT, I specialize in creating scalable IT infrastructures, optimizing systems, and ensuring secure technology environments. My mission is to leverage technology to solve real business challenges and make IT more accessible and understandable to organizations of all sizes.

My Professional Journey #

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with clients from various industries, each with unique challenges and opportunities. I’ve gained deep experience in IT architecture, system integration, virtualization, and IT security, designing solutions that align with both technical requirements and business goals.

As a consultant, I focus on delivering tailored solutions that meet the specific needs of my clients, and I’m driven by the desire to create lasting impact through technology. I’m also passionate about making IT simpler for businesses to adopt and scale, ensuring that technology becomes a key enabler of success.

Areas of Expertise #

• IT Architecture: Designing and optimizing scalable, resilient IT infrastructures.
• Virtualization: Implementing solutions that enhance efficiency and resource utilization.
• IT Security: Designing secure environments and ensuring compliance with industry standards.

Passion for Knowledge Sharing #

When I’m not consulting or architecting solutions, I’m actively involved in sharing my knowledge and helping others in the tech community. Whether through speaking engagements or blog posts, I believe in the power of continuous learning and enjoy helping others grow in their careers.

I also hold several professional certifications, which allow me to stay up-to-date with the latest industry trends and best practices. It’s important to me that I pass on the knowledge I gain, helping others build a strong foundation in technology.

In the Real World #

When I’m not immersed in the world of technology, you can find me playing arcade dance games or attending rock concerts—two things that keep me energized and remind me that life isn’t all about screens and servers. I enjoy staying active and embracing the energy of live music, whether it’s in a local venue or at a big festival. These activities help me keep a healthy balance between work and play, and they give me plenty of inspiration for my professional pursuits as well.
