Things I have built

Tidsarkivet is a digital archive and publishing platform for Norwegian local history. It gathers scattered sources, newspaper clippings, historical photographs, maps, and public records, and turns them into thoroughly sourced, verifiable articles about the places, people, and events of a local community. Rather than a static website, it is a working toolset: examiners for maps, photographs, documents, and sources let you compare a 1930s map with today, read the fine print of a scanned protocol, or search across the National Library, Wikimedia, museums, and local archives in a single query. A youth portal opens the same material to a younger audience through an interactive, map-first approach.

The aim is simple: that local history gets told, and that it gets told with its sources attached, so anyone can check the claims and build further. Tidsarkivet is meant as an accessible platform for the history societies that hold the deepest local knowledge, giving their work a modern home and a wider reach.

HMS Klar is a Norwegian platform for health and safety, emergency preparedness and industrial emergency response, built to make a demanding body of regulation practical to comply with.

It covers the full range. At one end is everyday internal control: procedures, safety inspections, chemical registers, risk assessments and documentation that holds up when the inspector arrives. At the other end is the statutory preparedness work: emergency plans with defined roles and action cards, risk and vulnerability analyses, exercises, and full support for companies covered by the Norwegian industrial safety regulation.

The incident reporting system sits at the centre. From the moment a case is filed it has a status, a named owner and a deadline, and the clock is visible to everyone following it. The person who reported it, the safety representative and management all see the same case and the same history. If the deadline passes without an answer, the case escalates on its own to the next level. Cases close with a corrective action, an owner and a date, not with a tick mark. That is a deliberate attack on the most common reason people stop speaking up, which is the experience that nothing comes of it.

HOP, Human and Organizational Performance, is the thinking underneath all of it. People make mistakes, and a mistake tells you something about the system rather than about who was careless. How management answers the first report decides how many reports arrive after it. That principle is built into the workflow rather than printed on a poster.

On the technical side, the aim is to put tools in ordinary hands that until now belonged to the largest organisations: alerting that reaches hundreds of recipients in seconds over SMS and voice, a live muster view showing who has responded while the incident is running, search across the whole archive, and pages that keep working when the network does not.

HMS Klar also has tools for private individuals. Home preparedness keeps track of supplies and expiry dates and warns before anything goes out of date, works out how many days the household would actually manage, and covers the technical side as well: power, fuel and communication. There is also a channel for reporting serious concerns at work, for those who need one.

The platform is built by one person with a genuine interest and hands-on experience in safety, preparedness and software development. The result is a system shaped for the purpose, not a general platform bent into place afterwards.
