Jack of all trades, master of none
Micke Kring
Researcher at RISE since 2023, where I primarily work with generative AI. I teach, build prototypes, develop, and drive innovation.
I’ve always been fascinated by what happens when humans and technology meet. With almost 30 years of experience in education and development, I spend my days exploring, prototyping, and teaching in AI, with the same playful curiosity as when I started.
The purpose of this site is to serve as documentation and a sounding board for me, but also, hopefully, to shed some light on how I work and which solutions I choose.
