value1338 · Level 35 · Class: Systems Builder
I work where business operations meet software. My background is in procurement, cost estimation and construction, and I build custom applications, websites and automations around the way people actually work.
My toolkit reaches from business requirements to interactive 3D interfaces, local AI and a home full of connected systems. I like open source, understandable technology and tools that earn their place by solving a real problem.
GitHub holds a few of my side projects. The rest of the story includes operational tools, process improvements and a homelab that keeps generating new quests.
| Skill tree | Equipped tools & experience |
|---|---|
| Business & processes | Procurement, cost estimation, construction workflows, process analysis, requirements and software selection. |
| Web & desktop software | HTML, CSS, JavaScript, TypeScript, React, Next.js and Electron. |
| Design & interaction | UI/UX, responsive design, Three.js, GSAP, SVG, animation and interactive 3D. |
| Integration & automation | Connecting systems, moving data between tools and reducing repetitive manual work. |
| AI & document workflows | Local AI models, OCR and document capture, organization and retrieval. |
| Infrastructure & homelab | Linux, web servers, self-hosting, monitoring, access management and backups. |
| Connected hardware | Home Assistant, Raspberry Pi and home automation that connects software to the physical world. |
| Delivery & quality | Software concepts, system architecture, documentation, accessibility, SEO and performance. |
| Mission | What I build |
|---|---|
| Connect the scattered pieces | Procurement and estimating software that brings information from separate systems, spreadsheets and inboxes into one usable workflow. |
| Find the missing equipment | Asset management tools for the office and the field, available on desktop and mobile. |
| Give the interface some character | Custom websites with clear content, usable interfaces and motion or 3D where it adds something. |
| Retire the copy-paste routine | Document processing and automations that reduce the steps between receiving information and being able to use it. |
| Keep the home vault running | Self-hosted services, monitoring and smart-home integrations. Apparently, one server was just the tutorial. |
- Investigate the workflow before choosing the technology.
- Connect or improve what already exists when that solves the problem.
- Use AI for a defined job, with results that can be checked.
- Explain trade-offs clearly, document the result and stay involved through implementation.
PASSIVE PERK Curiosity never goes on cooldown.
ACTIVE DEBUFF "I'll just automate this one little thing."
INVENTORY Business logic, code, cables, too many tabs.
