Things I build in my spare time. Mostly hardware at the moment, with some programming around it.
CNC router built from scratch
2026 – ongoing
A 3-axis CNC router based on the open-source WorkBee 1010 design, redrawn for a student budget. Instead of buying the bill of materials, I build around whatever I can get hold of: linear rails, stepper motors and drivers pulled from decommissioned pipetting robots and 3D printers at NTNU.
Swapping out parts means the rest of the design has to change with them. The rails have different dimensions than the original, the motors have different torque and mounting patterns, and the frame has to take cutting forces a 3D printer never sees. Every substituted part drags new adjustments along with it, in the gantry, the mounts and the electronics.
- Mechanics: reworked gantry and axis mounts fitted to salvaged linear rails
- Electronics: stepper motors and drivers from donor machines, with custom wiring
- Control: Klipper for motion control, configuration and commissioning
- Status: under construction – updated as the axes come together
Balatro mods
2026
Gameplay mods for Balatro, written in Lua and published open source. 908 downloads so far across GitHub and Nexus Mods.
- Joker Run Info (Nexus, 252 downloads) – adds a Jokers page to the Run Info screen: every Joker you hold, what it currently gives, and drag-and-drop reordering.
- Stacked Editions (Nexus, 656 downloads) – lets a single card hold several editions at once (Foil + Holo + Polychrome + Negative, plus modded ones), with every effect, shader and badge applying.
Websites I run
noasn.no
2026 – ongoing
This site. Plain PHP with no framework and no database — pages and CV content are stored as JSON files on disk. An admin panel behind a password login lets me create subpages, upload a portrait and edit the CV through a structured form instead of hand-writing HTML.
The CV is rendered twice from the same data: once as this web page, and once as a print stylesheet tuned to A4, so “download PDF” produces a clean one-page document with no browser headers, page numbers or URLs. The download counts above are fetched live from the GitHub and Nexus Mods APIs and cached server-side, so they stay current without me editing the page.

A unit converter: currency, SI units and the rest of the conversions you end up needing in a hurry. Owned by a family member; I handle the running of it — hosting, updates, backups and keeping it online.
