I'm Lervfo, a Norwegian offshore worker, family man, and serial workshop tinkerer. I like practical problems, honest tools, small experiments, and the particular satisfaction of finally understanding why something refused to work.

I work offshore in Norway with sensors, ROVs, and subsea systems. It is the kind of work where you need to pay attention, solve problems with what you have, and stay curious. Good work, and it keeps you on your toes. One day can be routine, the next can be a puzzle made of seawater, cables, measurements, and things that suddenly decide they have opinions.
Coming home is the best part. My wife, two kids, and two dogs make the place feel properly alive, and I would not trade that for anything. Offshore life can be a strange rhythm, but it does make home feel extra important.
When I have spare time, it usually disappears into the workshop or a project folder somewhere:
I jump between interests a lot, but the pattern is always the same: I want to know how things work. I am also very willing to break something if that is what it takes to understand it.
