I’m a web developer and frontend programmer who makes layouts, functionality, graphics, and multimedia come together for web and digital media. I often act as the bridge between graphic designers and backend developers. I’ve been online since the mid-1990s and have grown through roles in domain/web hosting, support, website programming, and related software/tech. I’m mostly self-taught with some formal training, and I firmly believe in "learning by doing". I also contribute to text/content/proofreading and have written for SideLine, an international music magazine, focusing on Norwegian electronic music and occasionally other scenes.
