Hello there! I’m Michael.
I’m a person (as a convenience) and I seem to enjoy doing some things. These are include but are not limited to:
- computer ✨
- learning about woo stuff 🔮
- touching moss 🍀
- connecting with art 🎭
More Information
B.Sc, M.Sc CS.
I’m a lifelong enthusiast of computers: took apart/reassembled the family pc in primary schooling, worked IT in secondary, and managed to not flunk post-secondary. I spent some time in my education developing theory on reverse engineering. Right now I do embedded C work. I got my foot in the door via an IoT medical device at a YC startup, but embedded is now also as part of CurrentJob’s responsibilities. Frankly, I do everything but mobile dev and chip design there, it’s v engaging. I also dabble in many other fields, but would not particularly consider myself well-versed in them, it’s mostly for fun. This includes psychology, biology, philosophy, and esoterica (the weird, the mystical, and the occult).
I have spent most of my life Online, and am very well-versed in memes, internet subcultures, conspiracy theories, and all other elements of being exposed to the fount of human detritus.
If you want to send me things
My deepest most unobvious fascination is little indie games on http://itch.io that talk about someone’s life experience. Stuff that’s deeply real and personal in a way no other production of game can be. Got that light of humanity shining in them.
I also like learning about all forms of mysticism, as long as they don’t veer into what I would call “mystical escapist world building”. Spiritual bypassing is totally a thing, and I avoid it like the plague it is.
I also like computer history! a lot! it’s an old romance for me.

You can drop me an electronic message. This is also the subset of communication most likely to make it to me.
