Hey 👋

Hi, I’m Carl-Erik! I’m a Norwegian software engineer who enjoys doing open source development and building products. I used to maintain the Sinon project and spent 6 years in a startup aimed at the hospital sector, but these days I am back in consulting - currently mostly doing Python in the aviation sector. I am a quite decent programmer that can contribute to most projects no matter the tech stack (I am relatively tech agnostic), but I fully acknowledge there are smarter, more productive and more capable programmers out there 😉 I just happen to be quite good at debugging almost anything and fixing other people's mistakes (including my own, which are plentiful =p).

My strong suit is tool building and a constant curiousness and thirst for how things (do not?) work. I have had a tendency to invest quite a bit of energy and time into making POCs of things I think should exist. Often exotic stuff that no one has actually asked for (like mocking frameworks for unit testing VimScript ). I work with whatever technology is needed, knowing that most differences are of a superficial nature.

My weak spot is a tendency to blurt out critique before thinking long enough on how to make it palatable or if it should be said at all. I am working on it.
