Hi I'm Emil!

I'm a brain for hire (also known as a consultant) for software developing businesses. Half the time I build things, mostly with Javascript and React. The other half I'm helping out with management.

I've a keen interest in systems thinking, skiing, psychology and human behavior, internet of things, scuba diving, user experience, and way too many other things.

I'm also running Bit Up North AB

Markdown Styleguide Generator

Use simple Markdown comments in your (s)css and let the generator create a styleguide for you. The styleguide will always tell the truth.

One of the few, if not the only styleguide generator, which is actually *live* as it will always use the current style of the site and not the style as it looked when the generator ran.

Internet of
Things Things

My home is my laboratory and I'm connecting way to many things to the internet. The plants tell me when they need water, the lights can be controlled from half way around the world (the necessity of this is still pending) and my morning music plays automagically.

Raspberry Pi's and Arduinos are running the show and the dispatcher is Node-RED. I've built a few modules myself. Take a look at them!

Node-RED Mopidy

This module enables you to control your Mopidy servers from Node-RED. This means that you - from Node-RED - can play all kinds of music, be it files on disk or streamed from Spotify, SoundCloud, Google Play Music or others.

Node-RED Tellstick

Remote control everything!

Send data to a Tellstick, e.g. turning a lamp on, and receive data, e.g from a remote control or a temperature sensor.

Node-RED Advanced Ping

Pings a remote server. Combine it with Node-RED Tellstick and you can start the disco lights if your servers are down!

Node-RED File Function

Help when developing for Node RED. Instead of having to write your Javascript code in a small textfield in your browser you can use your favorite editor/IDE.
