I've always had a head full of ideas — tools I wanted to build, things I wanted to try — but time and technical limits often got in the way. Now, with the help of AI, I can turn more of those ideas into reality. From embedded systems to web apps, I’m using modern tools to build and learn faster than ever. This site is where I share what I'm creating.
I'm Jesper — a 55-year-old engineer trying to live out my childhood dream of being a one-man dev shop. Back in the 80s, I was hacking away on a Commodore VIC-20, writing basic and assembler code and thinking it was genius. Then life happened: I took the grown-up path, studied engineering, and spent years in the world of industrial product development, quality systems, and structured processes (still do and like it).
I always had more ideas than time — little tools I wanted to build, gadgets I wanted to try, problems I thought I could solve — but the knowledge gap or time crunch usually stopped me. Now, with AI in the toolbox, that's finally changing. Large Language Models like ChatGPT and Gemini are like having a brilliant (and very patient) coding buddy on call 24/7. They help me bridge that gap between idea and implementation.
So here I am, going back to my VIC-20 roots — except now it's with JavaScript, Node.js, ESP32s C/Rust, or whatever the AI suggests me to use. I'm building useful little things, learning as I go, and sharing what I make. Some of it might be rough around the edges, but it's mine — and it's fun again.
And yes, I'm a big Space 1999 fan!
Soon I will make a Space 1999 fan episode with me as lead.
Research
ReqAIre is not just limited to improving requirements writing. We are also researching other use cases, such as auto-generated acceptance criteria and test case generation.
