Skills
I like building things
I've worked on a variety of projects, from simple websites to complex web applications. Here are a few of my favorites.
A BBQ temperature guide in Norwegian and English — a mobile-first single-page web app with no build step, no framework, and no dependencies.
An interactive wine education web application for exploring grape varieties, flavor profiles, and wine regions through structured learning modules and engaging visualizations.
A visual wine cellar manager for wine cabinets. Built as a pure HTML/CSS/JavaScript app — no framework, no build tools.
A multi-user time registration system built for an employer. All data lives in a shared Supabase (PostgreSQL) database — log time from any device and see the full team's entries. Built with vanilla HTML/CSS/JS and Tailwind CSS via CDN.
