About

The Michael

The perfect about is "I make stuff. Software, Hardware. Very occasionally, trouble.", but Jesse Vincent already used that in his, also perfectly named, blog Massively Parallel Procrastination. So I'll just go with:

It is I! Michael Krøyserth-Simsø!

Builder mode

I build things. Code things. Break things. Currently at Microsoft. Before that, I built e-commerce tools for Norwegian shops at MyStore, and before that, I was deep in the guts of internal systems at Norsk Helsenett, trying to make sense of the digital chaos in healthcare.

Before software

But before all that, I was a nurse. Met my wife there, 120 students, 5 dudes. The odds were in my favor. Before that? Four years in the army. Learned how to follow orders, question orders, and improvise when orders made no sense.

Off duty: nibbling?

Now, I've got a pack of kids, a couple of cats, and a head full of weird thoughts I mostly keep to myself. But when I do let them out, they're... not very sharp, and they don't exactly bite, maybe nibble a bit? Stick around. You might get nibbled.
