Volvo / VIDA Tooling
Module maps, wiring references, telemetry loggers, and request pipelines tuned for real technicians.
Hej. I'm the kind of builder who can't leave well enough alone. I wedge modern tech into '80s Volvos, route road trips around surveillance cameras on principle, and run it all on hardware I can physically kick. Bots, games, car brains: if it doesn't exist, I build it. If it exists but annoys me, I rebuild it.

A scroll-driven WebGL film about a single tree, from seed to canopy. No photographs, no 3D models, no libraries — every pixel is generated on the GPU by a hand-written engine in 95 KB.
Explore the build
Every project draws from the same foundation — shipped fast, hardened for real users, and instrumented so you can see what happened.
Module maps, wiring references, telemetry loggers, and request pipelines tuned for real technicians.
Discord and workflow bots for sports data, scheduling, QA, and whatever else needs automating.
Dashboards, data-hygiene scripts, and instrumentation so owners can see what happened, quickly.
Guestbooks, Discord hubs, and donation portals that keep the whole ecosystem connected.
The most recently developed projects, pulled straight from the portfolio. This section updates itself as new work ships.
A single-file landing page for a native meadow seed company. The whole hero — sunlit canopy, swaying foliage, daisies, drifting pollen — is painted in canvas from code. One 70 KB file, zero network requests.
The hub for everything Volvo — a home for both platforms (the RWD 240 bricks and the modern P3 cars), factory VIDA data, harness part-number catalogs, repair guides, data kits, and the build projects. One place instead of six.
Our own car-telemetry platform — it treats your car like a dev board. Open Arduino library, a programmable OBD-II dongle, a bench emulator that pretends to be a car, a Windows cockpit, a scripting language, and a live cloud + iPhone app with CarPlay. The software is live and free today; the hardware is in development.
We built something together last winter. I'm not going to say what it does or who it was for. That was the deal. I'll just say it worked the first night we ran it, it's still running untouched, and nobody's found it.— project partner · name withheld
A simple, repeatable process — whether it's a vehicle quirk or a workflow that won't scale.
Understand the vehicle or workflow pain point by gathering logs, context, and constraints.
Ship scrappy-but-safe builds quickly using PHP, JS/TS, or Python — whatever ships fastest.
Harden for real users, document the flows, and iterate with telemetry + community feedback.
Whether it's VIDA workflows, automation, or analytics — let's build the thing you actually need.
