I'm Michael, a Software Engineer at Telenor and a proud Haugesunder working out of Bærum. Think of me as a potato: not the flashiest thing on the plate, but I go with everything and I get the job done. Backend services, databases, infrastructure, internal tooling, onboarding documentation. Reliable, pragmatic, and always willing to roll up my sleeves.

I genuinely enjoy helping others. Before Telenor I was a teaching assistant at UiA for several courses, and that never really left me. I still spend a good chunk of my time onboarding juniors, writing documentation that I wish existed when I started, and just being someone people can ask questions to without feeling stupid. I like going to the office, grabbing coffee, and actually talking to my colleagues about the problems we're solving.

I write Kotlin and Spring Boot at work, and Rust on my own time. I build tools that I need and that I actually use every day. If something bothers me enough, I'll build a solution for it.

Outside of work you'll find me kayaking, fishing, or cooking something slightly too ambitious for a Tuesday. If you haven't heard of Haugesund before, you will now.

Coming soon: Fernly, a private, local-first medication and health journal for iPhone and Android.
