About me
My full name is Ole Bjørn Michelsen. I'm a software developer based in Copenhagen, and in recent years I have primarily been developing large scale websites and back end database solutions.
In 2010 I achieved a bachelor's degree in Computer Science at the University of Copenhagen (DIKU), and concurrently I have worked both part and full time as a web developer. This website is intended to show off some of my work and projects.
Current projects
Right now I'm looking into the many new features of HTML5 and CSS3, and especially how these can help to optimize website design and performance.
A friend and I are also trying out the more advanced aspects, such as WebSockets and the canvas element. We have so far created a rudimentary multiplayer Tetris game, where two players can battle against each other, using special blocks for attack and defense. I hope to get a working version online sometime this year.
Experience
I'm mainly using ASP.NET, C#, LINQ, HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, Microsoft SQL Server and Transact-SQL in my daily work, but I'm always exploring other languages and techniques. Below is a simple diagram of my experience with the most commonly used languages.
I have also developed for several different platforms. At the university we were using Linux, but in my work I have almost exclusively been developing on and for Windows. For this website and my private projects, I am primarily using Mac OS.
In my mind there is no one solution that fits all, rather it's a matter of selecting the right tool for the job, thus getting experience with as many technologies as possible, is paramount when choosing the best solution.
