Hands-on across the stack, Mikkel has shipped scalable backends (including contributions to a prominent .NET Redis client) and architected platforms intended to reach 100M+ users. He has repeatedly taken projects from MVP to production—at Kai, Pearl and Labelbox—while designing delivery models that compress cost and time for enterprise AI. Based in the Greater Oslo Region, he focuses on practical, regenerative innovation that creates abundance for communities and land.
