About me

Where code meets infrastructure—and ideas become useful products.

I'm Angel, a developer and systems builder from Trondheim. My work lives at the intersection of web development, hosting, technical operations, and online communities.

From responsive frontends and backend services to game servers and hosting environments, I enjoy owning the full journey from first idea to a platform that performs reliably. I care about clear design, maintainable code, and technology that earns its place.

I work across Norwegian, Swedish, English.
01

Product-minded code

Interfaces and backends designed around real people, not just technical checklists.

02

Infrastructure instinct

Hands-on experience with hosting, servers, deployments, and the systems behind the screen.

03

Community energy

Years of building for gaming communities taught me how to create for active, demanding audiences.

Legacy Hosting

Legacy Hosting is an established hosting company providing dedicated servers, VPS, gaming servers, voice servers, cloud services, storage servers, and web hosting. This project focuses on designing and developing the company’s new full-stack website and management platform. The goal is to modernize the customer experience, improve how hosting services are presented, and create a scalable technical foundation for products, pricing, ordering, support, and infrastructure integrations. The new platform is planned to include a complete service catalogue, detailed hosting plans, dynamic pricing, infrastructure and location information, announcements, documentation, frequently asked questions, service status, customer enquiries, and direct access to the existing Game Panel, Web Panel, and Discord community. A custom administration system will make it possible to manage services, plans, pricing, website content, announcements, orders, and other customer-facing information without editing the website manually. The frontend will be developed with Next.js, React, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS. A PHP 8.4 and CodeIgniter 4 backend will provide the API and business logic, with MariaDB for persistent data and Redis for caching, sessions, and background processing. Node.js and Socket.IO may be used for real-time service status, notifications, and deployment progress. The platform is also planned to integrate with hosting infrastructure through SSH and external services such as the Cloudflare API. OpenLiteSpeed, systemd, Certbot, and Let’s Encrypt will support deployment, process management, performance, and secure communication. My contribution includes project planning, interface design, full-stack development, database architecture, API development, infrastructure integration, deployment automation, and continued operation of the platform.

Skyggenes Rike

Skyggenes Rike is a modern browser-based mafia game that brings the classic text-based genre into a secure, fast, and mobile-friendly platform. The game combines crime, rank progression, banking, trading, gangs, casinos, missions, and real-time events. I designed and developed the complete solution, from the user experience and administration panel to the API, database, authentication, real-time server, Discord integration, media storage, and mobile clients. All gameplay logic is handled server-side to ensure data integrity, security, and scalability.

Pelican Deployment Manager

Pelican Deployment Manager is a production-ready control plane for deploying and maintaining Pelican Panel and Wings across multiple Linux servers. It detects existing installations before making changes, performs verified SSH preflight checks, provisions nodes, manages DNS and Let’s Encrypt certificates, and safely installs or updates components through guarded background jobs with backups, health checks, and rollback protection. I designed and built the complete platform, including encrypted credential storage, SSH host-key verification, Cloudflare DNS integration, GitHub release monitoring, real-time job progress, scheduled health checks, and automatic updates. It is designed to preserve existing production configurations and require explicit confirmation before remote changes.
