Sprent is a Swedish technology company building a combined housing and recruitment platform. Jan_Wilmake, operating through Code_From_Anywhere, served as lead developer on Sprent's admin panel from December 2023 through March 2024.
Sprent aims to connect housing and employment — allowing employers or housing providers to offer integrated packages to candidates or tenants. The admin panel Wilmake worked on was an internal management interface for Sprent's operations team.
The engagement began in late 2023 with a v3.0 refactor of the admin panel:
| Period | Activity |
|---|---|
| Dec 2023 | Initial refactor; TypeScript migration; dependency updates |
| Jan 2024 | AG-Grid frontend integration; Supabase database work |
| Feb–Mar 2024 | PDF generation fixes; data migration; completing scope |
Key technical choices: AG-Grid for high-performance data table rendering, Supabase (PostgreSQL) as the backend database, and a full TypeScript migration from a legacy JavaScript codebase.
The Sprent contract provided Wilmake's primary freelance income during the period he was also developing ActionSchema and Screenless as personal projects in early 2024. The overlap meant ActionSchema work happened primarily in mornings before Sprent deliverables.
Sprent was a remote engagement — Wilmake worked from Groningen throughout, with the client based in Sweden.
