Mikael Norling
.NET developer
I'm a developer with over 15 years of experience, working mainly with .NET — it's something I know deeply and genuinely love doing.
What keeps it interesting is the curiosity. I like trying new technologies and taking things apart to see how they actually run. I've shipped plenty to Azure — Container Apps and friends — but most of my own projects live on a VPS I run myself. A platform makes the infrastructure disappear; wiring it up by hand is how I learn what's really happening underneath.
I currently work as a consultant for Visionite.

Things I've built
The big one
AiMusic
What is this? AiMusic is a music-collection app I build and run for fun. It has a shared, curated catalog of artists, albums and songs, and lets each signed-in member keep their own collection on top of it — tracking which formats and condition they own each record on.
On top of that sits a small marketplace: collectors can list records for sale, send trade requests, chat once a deal is on, and hand a record over to another collector.

- Podman
vps-edge
The edge in front of everything I run: Caddy in Podman
on my own VPS, handling TLS, routing to each app, and the static files for this page.
Deploying is a git pull — Caddy reads the files live, so there's no restart
and no downtime. The whole stack recently moved off Docker to Podman — half curiosity,
half wanting out from under the licensing.
