About

By day I develop simulation models — the kind where you define equations, feed in parameters, and try to make a system behave like reality. I trained as a mathematician, so I tend to think in abstractions and proofs before I think in code.

This site is where I teach myself the other half: how to build things on the web, how to take an idea from a notebook to something someone can actually use. I come from math and scientific computing, not software engineering — I'm learning in public, and this is the workshop where it happens.

What's here

The lab is the interesting part. It's a collection of small tools and experiments — things like exploring a dataset, running an optimization, or visualizing a statistical concept. Each one is self-contained. Some might be useful, others are just me figuring something out.

There's also a CV if you want the formal version of who I am.

The projects section goes deeper into some of the more interesting builds: the modeling decisions, the math behind them, and how they are engineered end-to-end.

Experiments on the bench

Live community projects

Tarraxo Norway is a promotional site for the Norwegian tarraxo and kizomba dance scene — covering this modern urban evolution of Angolan dance culture, connecting dancers and DJs across Norway. It also includes ARRAX, a track-intent board where producers can send beats, find DJs, and start collaborations within the Norwegian tarraxo community.

YogAlign i Norge is a Norwegian-language resource portal for YogAlign practitioners and teachers in Norway — covering the YogAlign method, how it differs from traditional yoga, a directory of teachers in Noreg, and curated resources for ongoing learning. Written entirely in nynorsk.

Open template

This site is built on a template I made public — a Next.js + FastAPI starter designed to be worked on with an AI coding assistant — Cursor, VS Code, Claude, or any similar tool. It includes step-by-step guides for beginners: local setup, Git basics, and deploying to Vercel and Render.

If you want to build something similar, it's yours to use. personal-lap-template on GitHub.
