    Bio

    WordPress developer from Modum, Norway. I build lightweight, self-hosted plugins for small businesses — booking, GDPR cookie consent, live chat, and honest SEO. All my plugins ship with Norwegian translation out of the box and are designed to do one thing well without the upsell circus.

    Interests

    WordPress plugin development, self-hosted software, GDPR & privacy, small-business tooling, Norwegian SaaS, freelance development, WooCommerce, local government tech

    WordPress Origin Story

    I started building my own WooCommerce store in 2009 (Luxushair, still running today). After running it for over a decade and helping other small businesses get unstuck with their WordPress sites, I started writing plugins to solve the recurring problems I kept seeing — booking systems they couldn’t afford, GDPR compliance that wasn’t a tax on running a small business, and SEO tools without the score-shaming. Now I split my time between freelance WordPress work for Norwegian small businesses and maintaining a handful of plugins.
