01. Hello

Fredrik — developer · photographer · nerd

Software developer. Photographer. Occasional chaos engineer.

Making websites do things since Internet Explorer 4 was a problem

Full-stack developer who enjoys building things end-to-end, debugging weird production issues, and keeping deployments boring. Also take photos and occasionally break things in my homelab.

Now:

Unclouding things—migrating services off various clouds back to hardware I can physically touch. Self-hosting, infrastructure tinkering, and shipping small projects that probably don’t need to exist but are fun anyway.

02. Recent wins
Fixed that slow page — made it 10x faster by adding an index. Classic. Debugged the “database” bug — turned out to be a race condition. Always is. Actually read the docs — saved 3 hours of trial and error.

Things currently occupying RAM.

  • PSBloggen migration Active

    Migrated a ten-year PlayStation enthusiast blog off WordPress and grew it into a full IGDB-powered editorial platform: curated collections, a daily guess-the-game feature, PS Plus catalog tracking, and reader accounts, all self-hosted.

  • goonk.se Active

    Personal site reboot: simple, fast, and self-hosted.

Homelab / Unclouding

Running my own stuff again because cloud bills are silly and self-hosting is fun. Sometimes things break at 2am. Worth it. More →

05. What I do

What I do

I build software from the bit you click to the thing that wakes you up at 3am.

Build

Frontends, backends, APIs and databases.

Ship

CI/CD, containers, infrastructure and deployments.

Find the weird thing

Production debugging, performance, and old systems nobody wants to touch.

Keep it running

Monitoring, observability, and boring operations.

Tech:

Java · .NET · TypeScript/JavaScript · PHP · React · jQuery · Bootstrap · SQL · NoSQL · Docker · CI/CD
