Espen Tjessheim
I work in the energy industry in Norway and spend my evenings on small projects, like building software in my own time or learning new skills. This site is where the finished things and learnings live.
Now
- Working full time as a geologist in the energy industry.
- Building a Norwegian-language personal finance course, adapted from first principles for Norwegian rules.
- Learning to build and ship software with AI coding tools — this site is the first one.
Selected work
All projects →Lectern, markdown reading app
AIs often create markdown files. For programmers reading this in code editors or similar might be easy, but for others it can feel overwhelming. Lectern is a Windows app that allows you to read markdown files cleanly.
This website
A personal site built from scratch with Astro, designed as a permanent home for everything I build next.

All notes →You can create websites easily with Claude!
I have tried to learn how to create websites before. While it was fun and you can get the basics up quickly, there are still plenty of things to discover and learn. Using Claude cowork, this step goes much quicker. Of course, it might not be optimal, and I should learn the basics, but to get a project going fast and make some progress it is amazing.
