Staff-level frontend/system engineer based in Sweden. 20+ years experience shipping performance-critical, real-time, and composable interfaces in production. Previous work includes:
• Custom poker clients and in-house game engines (Gamesys, OpenBet)
• Embedded media platforms (Xperi/TiVo smart TVs)
• Large-scale e-commerce widgets (Stylitics, tens of millions of daily hits)
• LLM-assisted pipelines and tooling (CMS ingestion, visual diffing, media automation)
Strengths include UI architecture, latency-aware design, composable systems, fast iteration, and taking projects from prototype to production with minimal overhead.
Stack/tools: React, TypeScript, Web Components, Canvas/WebGL, ClojureScript Tauri, SQLite, Payload CMS, ffmpeg, Cloudflare Workers GitHub Actions, Playwright, Codex-based AI workflows
Recent personal projects:
• Socken : local-first genealogy tool (Tauri + SQLite + GEDCOM)
• Kolibri Club : cultural site with CMS, ingestion pipeline, and live video workflows
• grabfilm : Filmarkivet + Archive.org media archiver with idempotent metadata handling
Looking for small, focused teams working on tools, infrastructure, creative software, or low-latency systems. Open to consulting, contracting, or embedded long-term roles. Prefer high agency, low management overhead, and no hype-driven development.
