By day I work as a consultant at Bouvet where I specialise as a .NET backender. ^{Psst!Don't tell anyone that I'd never touched .NET until 2021 👀}

I design APIs to help streamline a semantic data pipeline. Yes.

If you go digging in my public repositories be warned that they are most (if not all) in Norwegian. Code structure, branches, commit logs, everything. It is enough to strike fear into any programming Norwegian. Which is my primary drive for doing so.

I don't have too many public repositories with projects, but my current hobby projects involve Flask, RDF, and veganism. 🌱

I embarrassingly recently had the epiphany that I am capabale of creating apps, so I am also experimenting with automatic pipelines to Azure.

My very first programming language was JavaScript. I was making a basic website when a desire to open a link in a new window sent me down a rabbit hole I've never quite dug myself out of. 🕳

However, it would be quite a few more years before I dipped my toes back into the realm of programming. I got a bachelor's of arts in computer character animation from Teesside University which landed me my first proper job as a ✨techinical designer✨. ^{I rendered 3D- models, and designed powerpoint presentations.}

One day I thought to myself:

Markus 🙋 Why are you doing these same steps every day? Don't you think this could be automated?

Turns out that, yes! Yes, it could. ✅

Enter MAXScript, the scripting language for Autodesk 3Ds Max.

All of a sudden I had automated my most tedious tasks and made new plug-ins to be used by me and my colleagues work. 👨‍💻

I even started getting new tasks for my newfound skills. I started using Unity to create small applications. I started off with JavaScript again, but quickly discovered that C# was the way to go. I just started to get comfortable with it when I got downsized, and knocked back to school. 🏫

This time I went straight for information science where I started off with learning Java; got re-introduced to HTML, CSS, and JavaScript; and eventually started learning Python.

Python quickly became my go-to language when I wanted to try something, and still is to this day. Even when my days are filled with .NET at work.

Python, my first love. 💚
