Rikard Eide
Product Engineer at Otovo
I once wrote a masters degree about ambulatory patient monitoring using low-energy Bluetooth at NTNU. After that I accidentally landed a job at Norway's largest bank. I declined their offer and now I want to learn all the fun stuff and build a better tomorrow doing so.
