About
I'm Michael Pedersen — a tech enthusiast, AI engineer, and fullstack developer interested in everything adjacent to technology. This site is where I publish technical essays, reverse-engineering deep dives, and explorations into whatever corner of computing has my attention.
My background spans fullstack web development, AI/ML systems, reverse engineering, and distributed systems. I enjoy taking things apart to understand how they work — whether that's decompiling a wearable's health algorithms, building autonomous AI agent infrastructure, or digging into the internals of content-addressed storage.
I've been in and around crypto since 2013, back when buying Bitcoin meant wiring a MoneyGram to buy Second Life Lindens and exchanging them on sketchy forums. The essays here sometimes draw from that history: early exchange collapses, DIY nutrition scenes, and the strange collision of technology and subculture that defined the early internet.
I'm currently focused on AI engineering — building agent systems, working with LLMs, and exploring how autonomous software changes the way we build and interact with technology.
Technical Interests
- AI/ML systems and autonomous agents
- Systems architecture and distributed systems
- Developer tools and productivity
- Wearables and health-tech algorithms
The essays here represent ongoing explorations rather than final answers — half-baked ideas. Some of them rise.
