Mikkel Storgaard is a software engineer with 12 years of experience based in Copenhagen, combining strong backend expertise with applied research instincts from a master's in computer science. He has shipped production systems across finance, healthcare, and customer service (Danske Bank, Abacus Medicine, Studies&Me, Zendesk) and led engineering for decentralized clinical trials. Mikkel contributes to low-level compiler work on the Futhark project—focusing on type-checking and code generation and even improving a C# backend—showing comfort with language internals and performance-sensitive code. He balances hands-on coding with technical leadership, moving between individual contributor roles and project lead responsibilities. Unexpectedly, his public resume lives as a simple PDF on GitHub, reflecting a pragmatic, code-first approach to professional presence.
