Who's behind Syntropy

Syntropy is my portfolio and personal lab.

Idunn Freya is my professional name. I'm a web developer and systems designer: I turn ideas, processes and data into digital structures that work. My approach combines backend development (Python/Django), information architecture and technical documentation with experience in drafting, CAD/3D environments (AutoCAD/FreeCAD, Blender).

This site showcases selected projects, processes and pieces. If you need a full CV or references, they are available upon request.


Profile

My profile is defined less by the tools I use and more by how I think: I see structure before detail, I spot relationships between parts, and I identify dependencies, gaps and redundancies. I need to understand the whole system to work well — and that's exactly what I bring to the table.

Trained in Web Application Development (vocational degree), with a prior background in technical drafting, documentation and 3D visualisation. That combination allows me to work comfortably on projects where the functional, the visual and the documental need to fit together.


What I do

  • Functional architecture: systems design, data modelling, information flows and digital product structure.
  • Backend development: web applications with Django (models, ORM, admin), PostgreSQL databases, APIs.
  • Infrastructure and operations: deployment with Docker/Compose, Linux, Git, incident resolution.
  • Documentation and processes: document organisation, operational guides, traceability, process analysis.
  • Visualisation and technical design: CAD/3D support (AutoCAD/FreeCAD, Blender), web assets (Inkscape/GIMP).

How I work

I think in systems, not isolated screens. Before writing code, I need to understand what problem it solves, how it scales and what can go wrong. I prioritise maintainability, documentation as part of the process and solutions that someone else can operate after me.

I do my best work on projects that require bringing together logic, structure and clarity — specialised software, digital products, information systems or complex tools. Available for remote collaborations.
