Software Architect — .NET, E-Commerce, Optimizely & Applied AI
Hans Christian
Thjømøe
With 15+ years of hands-on experience across enterprise architecture, I specialize in building scalable digital solutions for real-world business needs. My track record spans e-commerce, content management, and complex system integrations—always with an emphasis on robustness, maintainability, and the flexibility to evolve as your company does.
What I Do
Core Expertise
The areas I work in most often — enterprise backend and frontend, commerce and content platforms, system integrations, and the AI tooling I build on the side.
Backend Development
.NET/C#, ASP.NET Core, Web APIs, Microservices architecture for enterprise-grade applications.
E-Commerce
Optimizely Commerce, Multi-site Solutions, B2B & B2C platforms with complex requirements.
CMS Platforms
Optimizely CMS, Digital Experience Platforms for content-rich enterprise websites.
Integrations
ERP Systems, PIM Solutions, and custom APIs — connecting complex business systems.
Architecture
Solution Design, Database Modeling, System Architecture for scalable, maintainable systems.
AI Tooling & Agentic Workflows
Building agentic systems end to end — from an MCP orchestration platform (multi-step tool-calling flows, human-in-the-loop approvals, embeddable chatbots) to custom MCP servers and the autonomous agent that writes and ships this blog daily. LLM provider-agnostic.
About Me
Professional Background
With 15+ years in software development and architecture, I've built a career helping organizations get more out of their digital platforms. Starting as a developer in 2011, I've grown into roles spanning senior backend development, technical leadership, and solutions architecture.
My work focuses on connecting business goals with the technical decisions that deliver them, with extensive experience across retail, e-commerce, public administration, and enterprise solutions.
Outside the Day Job
Side Projects
I build a lot of small tools. Some land in public repos, others remain private as I develop them. Here are the main themes — reach out if any of this aligns with your work.
Paperboy CMS
An open-source, headless, type-safe CMS — editor-first and self-hostable. github.com/hybriden/paperboy. This very site runs on it: every section you're reading is editable content served through its delivery API.
Visual.Workflow
A Visual Studio Code extension for managing Azure DevOps work items, sprint boards, and task status without leaving the editor. github.com/hybriden/Visual.Workflow.
Other projects & experiments
Custom MCP servers — optimizely-mcp and azure-devops-mcp — plus Claude Code subagents, ntfy-driven approval flows, and the autonomous agent that writes and ships this blog daily. On the homelab side: smarthome-dashboard (tablet-friendly home dashboards) and com.mill.local (a Homey Pro app for Mill heaters over local REST, no cloud).
