Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMikkel Damsgaard is a pragmatic founder and cloud-native architect with over a decade of experience designing scalable platforms, DevOps automation, and enterprise data integrations for global customers. He combines deep hands-on skills—from embedded IoT work on ESP32 and contributions to the Toit language—to multi-cloud PaaS, Kubernetes, and Infrastructure-as-Code (Pulumi/Terraform) for clients like JYSK and Advance Auto Parts. A seven-time AWS-certified technologist and former CTO, he focuses on cost-optimized, secure cloud migrations and modern GitOps workflows while also delivering MDM/ERP integration for complex enterprises. Known for a strong anti-bullshit ethos, he pairs mathematical rigor (MS in Mathematics) with practical engineering, often automating repetitive work away. Outside cloud strategy he still writes low-level firmware and build-system improvements, reflecting a rare blend of systems-level craftsmanship and executive leadership.

Contributions summary:Mikkel primarily contributed to the Toit programming language's support for microcontrollers, specifically focusing on ESP32-based devices. They added UART support for Darwin (macOS) platforms, including control flags, and implemented various features related to ADC, touch sensors, SPI flash, and I2S peripherals, making the language more complete for hardware interaction. Additionally, they migrated the build process to idf.py for ESP32, ESP32S3, and ESP32C3, improving the build system and supporting newer chipsets. This included code modifications across multiple files, and updating dependencies.
