I'm Mike Long, an independent software consultant based in Oslo, Norway. My specialties
include coaching and mentoring teams to adopt modern technical practices in hostile
embedded and legacy environments.\\

I have over 10 years of professional software engineering experience, working in a variety of
cultures and business domains. I consider software as a craft, and enjoy sharing the pursuit
of technical excellence with fellow professionals.\\

experience and skills. I am also a regular speaker and workshop facilitator at international
