Introduction

Carsten Berggreen was born in 1972 and received his first computer, a Commodore 64, at his confirmation. That moment marked a shift — LEGO bricks were replaced with code, logic, and digital creation. Since then, technology has been a constant part of his life.

Early Technical Journey

Carsten began programming on the Commodore 64, working with BASIC and later diving into 6510 assembly language to gain full control over the hardware.

He later expanded into:

  • MC680x0 Assembly on the Amiga
  • Pascal
  • C and C++
  • VBScript
  • JavaScript

This early foundation created a deep understanding of how systems work — from low-level hardware interaction to higher-level software design.

Today

Today, Carsten primarily works with:

  • C#
  • .NET

He also has experience with Unity (C#) and continues to explore new technologies as they emerge.

Early Career

From 1997 to 2001, Carsten worked at Plejdrup & Co (later Plejdrup.com), where he was involved in building digital campaigns and websites.

Clients included:

  • Danfoss
  • Bridgestone / Firestone
  • Stimorol
  • Gyproc

The work involved creating engaging digital experiences at a time when the web was still evolving rapidly.

Professional Profile

Carsten works as a Solutions Architect with a focus on designing robust, scalable, and maintainable systems. Key areas include:

Solution Architecture Event-driven Systems APIs & Integrations SQL / NoSQL Containerization Legacy Modernization

AI & Digital Curiosity

Carsten is a strong advocate for using AI as a tool in the hands of skilled professionals. He has spent significant time understanding Large Language Models (LLMs), Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), and the practical real-world applications of AI.

AI should assist — not replace — skilled engineers and creators.

When used correctly, generative AI can significantly enhance productivity and enable better outcomes.

Current Role

Carsten currently works as a Solutions Architect at OK a.m.b.a., where he contributes to the modernization of complex and business-critical systems.
