About me

My name is Andreas Fuglesteg Dale, I'm a fullstack developer from Norway!

I currently work at Evidi as a consultant. At work I help clients design and implement software projects. These projects are usually built on Microsoft technology, Azure, C#/.NET, MSSQL Server, etc. For frontends I am mostly working in Vue.

I have a bachelors degree in Information Technology from the University of South-Eastern Norway. During the three years at the university I collaborated with many local businesses to develop various web based applications. I also interned in a local business for my last semester. I gained a lot of practical experience in designing and building software. Though the education itself was great I am incredibly grateful for the practical experience I gained from working on various systems, of varying degrees of complexity.

I started programming when I was about 10 or 12. I can't quite remember when the first time I programmed was, but I remember how: Computercraft was a minecraft mod that allowed you to program computers inside the game. You could write programs that interacted with the minecraft world in different ways, like managing inventories or opening/closing doors. It was a great way for a kid to learn the basics of programming, it goes to show how simple computers that force you to program can be a great educational experience. Computercraft uses Lua as it's programming language, a language that I still occasionally use.

In middle school and high school I got into game development. First using C++, before getting demotivated with the insane learning curve that I faced from never having any formal experience in programming or computer science. Instead I went on to use Construct 2, Unity, and currently I am developing my own game engine in Common Lisp.

My current main interests in software are Lisp, Linux and Guix. This website is written in Common Lisp, hosted on a Linux machine, running in a container that was built using Guix.
