I'm Daniel. I work with web platforms by day and spend my evenings tinkering with AI, automation and smart home stuff. This is where I write about what I learn along the way.

Solution architect. Writing about web development, AI and automation in practice.

About

Who I am

I'm Daniel Andreasson, a solution architect and fullstack developer with over 14 years in web development. Most of that time I've spent building and modernizing web platforms and e-commerce, primarily on Drupal but also Shopify and whatever else came along. In recent years AI integration and automation have taken up a growing share, both at work and in my spare time. I understand things best by building them myself.

What I do

I work as a solution architect. On the side I write product reviews for Nordic Hardware and build my own tools. A few of them:

Freya, a local AI assistant for the home built on Ollama and Home Assistant. It controls lights and music, reports schedules and school lunches, and lets us know when someone in the family is on their way home.

Norns, a suite of terminal tools for macOS: a workspace manager in SwiftUI, a quick switcher for tmux sessions and a multi-AI orchestrator for Claude Code.
