Hi, I'm Ole Mathias Brænde

Frontend that is fast,accessible and builtto last.

I am a frontend developer who cares about getting the details right: performance you can feel, accessibility from the first line, and code that is easy to build on.

About me

I started in September 2024, and haven't let go of the keyboard since.

What pulls me towards web development is that everything connects: design, performance, accessibility and code. I like digging into why a page feels slow, and fixing it properly, not with a shortcut.

I build with Next.js, React and TypeScript, and I measure what I make: Core Web Vitals, WCAG and structured data are part of the job, not an afterthought.

I learn fast, enjoy sharing knowledge, and do my best work on teams where people care about shipping something they are proud of.

How I work

Four things I don't compromise on.

  • Performance

    Pre-rendered HTML, minimal JavaScript and optimised images. The goal is green on every Core Web Vital, on a real phone, not just on a dev machine.

  • Accessibility

    Semantic HTML, keyboard navigation, proper contrast and respect for reduced motion. Websites should work for everyone.

  • Search visibility

    Correct metadata, structured data, sitemap and language alternates, so Google understands your site as well as visitors do.

  • Clean craft

    Strict TypeScript, clear structure and code other developers actually want to open. It makes the site cheaper to maintain.

Currently building

Several client projects

Alongside my own projects, I am building websites for several independent clients right now. More of them will show up here once they have launched.
