Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolUna Karlsen is a multidisciplinary cinematographer and former DevOps engineer with over a decade of hands-on experience in Linux, networking, and cloud deployment. After a long career building and supporting complex infrastructure (including Docker/ECS and AWS deployment services), she transitioned into cinematography and photography, applying a systems-minded approach to visual storytelling through her studio, Karlsenheim Studios. A self-taught polymath and maker, she brings practical skills from embedded hardware projects and server automation to film production, blending technical precision with creative craft. Based in the Western Cape, she is a queer, trans woman whose background as an autodidact and gamer informs a curious, problem-solving approach to both technical and artistic challenges.
