About Me

Hi there, my name is Simon Arneberg! I currently work as a Data Engineer consultant, where I create data pipelines and build data models. I always enjoy learning new things and tackling interesting puzzles. As an optimist at heart, I think life is a lot more enjoyable with a healthy growth mindset.

After graduating from the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire with a degree in Computer Science, I worked for a few years as a Data Analyst near Eau Claire, Wisconsin. Outside of work, this was a very exciting time of life, because I got engaged and married to my wife Noelle! Then, in 2025, my wife and I decided to drop everything and move across the country to Portland, Oregon, where we now live and work.

Life in Portland is super fun -- we especially enjoy biking around the city, hiking in the gorge or at the coast, and living in close community with many old and new friends.

I try my best to be a keen observer of humans, nature, and systems around us. My goal is for my Projects & Ideas Blog to convey some of the things I'm thinking about through this lens. Although I do work on a computer, some of my best ideas come while doing extremely analog activities such as running, biking, or staring out the window at a tree across the street.

I also enjoy the process of songwriting and recording original music. Since 2020, I've released 33 songs on Spotify under a super clever artist name: Simon Paul Arneberg. See my Music page for more info on that, if you're curious.
