Hi there! My name is Robert Beekman, developer, photographer and longboarder.

I love creating scalable webapplications, created pragmatically, with both "boring" and new technologies, whatever is best suited for the job. I made the first commit to AppSignal, where I'm still happily employed. In my free time I like to travel, mainly to Asia and when I'm not abroad I regularly take my longboard out for a spin.

Serving static CORS JSON with Caddy

For a simple side-project, I needed to serve static JSON, with proper CORS headers.

Switching to Svelte

I have rewritten my middleman site to Svelte/SvelteKit, here's what I encountered.

From my trips

Zadra

Visiting Energylandia in Poland

Acropolis

Greece 2021

With Athens turning "yellow", meaning we can travel there, but with caution, it was time to pack the bags and get on a plane for the first time in a year.
