With a background as a developer, Truls, as a principal engineer, strives to balance his time between writing software in teams and building a team-first, product-oriented organization. He believes that creating a sustainable, adaptable organization is essential for teams to develop services that can evolve over time. As the first official in-house developer at NAV (Norwegian Labour and Welfare Administration) in 2016, Truls has played a central role in transforming and modernizing digitalization efforts.

For the last seven years I have worked at NAV, the central organization in the Norwegian welfare state. We are undertaking a major modernisation, writing our way out of 40 year old legacy systems, and creating a modern organization that can work for the next 40 years.

My main interest is flow, and my main tools to increase flow in teams has been platform engineering. I have been a part of teams that have created the nais.io platform, that has increased flow for NAV, and soon other governmental organizations in Norway.
