Hi, my name is

Martin Lundqvist

Amateur web developer

I am a hobby / amateur software developer trying to get better at web development. Reproducing awesome homepages built by the best designers out there is a one of many great ways to learn! Check out Brittany's site where I stole this design from and built this page from the ground up using React and Styled-Components.

About me

Hello my name is Martin Lundqvist and I'm a tech geek by birth, musician in my heart and management advisor by training. My day job is CEO of Arundo Analytics and I sometimes invest in other tech teams I believe in (shout out to BuddyWise and Keto.AI / Clyr).
When I'm not working, spending time with my wife and son or hanging out at our beach house in the Stockholm archipelago, I play piano and code - two long standing passions that I picked up again after a 20 year long break.

Some projects

Project
Fun with Gravity
Inspired by the "Three Body Problem" I created a simple gravity simulator. Everytime you start it, it creates a random number of bodies with random sizes, positions and velocities. They then start ineracting via their respective gravitational influences.
- P5.js
- Fly.IO
Project
Traders of the Hanseatic League
Created a web version of a board game that two friends developed a while back. This took a good while to build, but was a tonne of fun. Still WIP, for sure!
- Node
- React
- Socket.IO
- Fly.IO
Project
Knight's chat
Decided to learn Socket.IO in order to prepare for developing a game. A simple chat application seemed a good start. Also played around with neomorphism insipred design.
- Node
- React
- Socket.IO
- Fly.IO
Project
News Scraper
Found an article about using Cheerio to scrape sites and decided to try it out. The goal was to create four services to scrape, store, serve and show news articles from a set of papers. It then evolved to also include word clouds and doing sentiment analyses on headlines!
- Node
- React
- MongoDB
- Express
- Cheerio
- Netlify
- Fly.IO
- Flask
- NLTK
Project
Price Scraper
My good friend Andreas suggested a cool scraping project might be to create an app that recommends ONE vendor for a basket of products that you've chosen.
- Node
- React
- Express
- Cheerio
- Netlify
- Fly.IO

Frontendmentor challenge
I hopped on the Countries Rest API front-end challenge at frontendmentor.io. Goal was to practice building a fast performing SPA that loads data from a public API
- Node
- React
- ViteJs

Project
Frontendmentor challenge
I hopped on the Space Tourism front-end challenge at frontendmentor.io. Idea was to practice building a fully responsive home page with nested pages using styled-components and react-router-dom.
- Node
- React
- ViteJs
- Styled-Components
- Netlify
Project
This homepage
What better way to learn more advanced front-end concepts, than to try and rebuild awesome existing pages from the ground up? I found Brittany's page on a top-10 list of beautiful homepages. I use a Google Spreadsheet as the database and Netlify Functions to serve the end-points to the app.
- Node
- React
- ViteJs
- Styled-Components
- Netlify / Functions
- GoogleAPIs
Podcast
Two laymen with huge issues
My good friend Joakim and I thought we should step out of our comfort zones and start a podcast. It was a cool journey to understand how to record, edit, register, publish and manage these things. And it's good fun to record too!

- React
- Express
- Heroku
- Zencastr
- Podbean
Project
Eriksson's meat
Thomas runs a butcher shop down the street from where we live. Customers use printed forms to pre-order in front of the bigger holidays. I thought I'd combine fun with utility and built a simple web application allowing them to do it online instead.
- Node
- React
- MongoDB
- Express
- Auth0
- Heroku
Project
Train vocables
My son is studying Spanish, and I thought I'd build a simple web application for managing and practicing vocables. This was my first attempt at building a full stack web application.
