My Story

Hey there!

I’m Oyvind, a Norwegian who loves electronics. Since 2013, I’ve been travelling and living all over the world: Mexico, New York, Miami, Colombia, Berlin, Sydney, Sweden, Spain +++

I married the woman of my dreams in 2017, and together we travel, do workshops, go on adventures and create courses.

My interest in electronic circuits started when I was around 14 years old. One day I started thinking about how you could make a light blink.

I got more and more curious, until I just had to figure it out. In such a situation it was good to have a father with electronics experience. You can read that story here.

Since then I’ve received my Master’s degree in electronics and computer science and I’ve done a lot of electronics development.

Some of the projects I’ve been involved with:

The RØST Coffee Roaster
The Manga Screen
The D1 See-through-wall Sensor

Learn Electronics with Øyvind

I’m passionate about teaching electronics in the simplest way possible.

I think the language used in most electronics books are hard to understand for people who don’t already know electronics. I want to change that. That’s why I’ve written several books on electronics for beginners:

Electronics For Kids
A Beginner’s Guide to Circuits
Getting Started With Electronics

And I have created several courses on electronics over the years. You can get access to all of these through Ohmify.
