Software developer at Østfold University College and Simula AS, testing how rule-changing LLM agents cooperate and recover.
What I'm looking for
At Østfold University College and Simula AS, I designed and ran a controlled experiment on whether LLM agents that can amend shared rules maintain cooperation and recover from resource shortages better than agents under fixed rules. I implemented rule enforcement in the simulation and analyzed collective performance, individual outcomes, and recovery dynamics.
At Idea X, I designed, developed, and maintained WordPress websites, including custom themes and responsive implementations of Adobe XD designs. I also collaborated with international clients on tailored themes and plugins, and delivered e-commerce and portfolio projects on the schedules stated in the resume.
