About iamroot.tech

The iamroot.tech mission

The mission is simple: To provide a toolbox that surpasses the quality of existing websites and services, without the clutter, ads, or meaningless buzzwords.

Each individual tool must exceed any existing online tools - or at a minimum, match other services in terms of functionality, simplicity, ease of use, and overall value.

On a more personal level, the aim is to have fun while doing what I love: coding and building tools that make an actual difference - without the politics and pressure of having to turn a profit as quickly as possible.




Background

The need for this grew out of my day job as a full-stack developer and systems administrator.

I needed a set of fast and reliable tools with advanced options to tweak, clear and understandable results, and no ads or useless information cluttering the interface just to make it look fancy.

I needed simple, to-the-point tools that provide actual valuable information.

At the same time, I needed a pet project to help keep me sane. I love coding and building things - but jumping through all kinds of hoops in the corporate world is a recipe for severe burnout. Been there, done that.

Finally, I decided to do something about it.




The creator

My name is Flemming V. Bundgaard, a tech professional from Denmark with a broad range of experience in systems development, systems administration, and support. Over the years, I’ve been involved in building and managing technical systems designed to optimize workflows and simplify complex processes.

In my current roles, I oversee the development and technical operations of several large-scale systems, including platforms for managing digital transactions and integrations with numerous third-party services. My responsibilities cover everything from initial coding to ongoing system maintenance and API integrations, ensuring smooth and reliable functionality.

I have a background in freelance consulting, where I developed custom websites and applications across multiple industries, always with a focus on practicality and simplicity.

I work with technologies such as C#, .NET Framework, JavaScript, MySQL, IIS, Windows Server - to name a few. And I love everything about both SQL and DNS :)
