Working as a FrontEnd Developer at Olavstoppen, a consultancy that specializes in FrontEnd Development and Design. As part of it I've worked on the SAPo project for Equinor.

SAPo - Situational Awareness portal (Feb 2024 - Feb 2025)

The Situational Awareness portal (SAPo) is a digital tool for enhancing situational awareness in emergency and crisis management. Developed after the Melkøya fire, it is now part of Equinor's emergency system. SAPo provides real-time, data-driven information through a tactical board and advanced map functionality, ensuring fast and precise access to critical data.

Worked mostly on a pilot run for offshore installations, where the main goal was to expand the map solution to include the visualization of the offshore installations and their surroundings. The 3D solution was built with Three.js and React, and it was integrated with the existing SAPo solution.

The project used a Monorepo architecture with Turbo, was built in React and Redux, and used Equinor's UI system for components. The backend integration was done with GraphQL and Apollo Client. The project also used Jest and Cypress for unit and e2e testing.

Developed and maintained the Cheetrack web app, a communication solution that integrates chat platforms like WhatsApp and Instagram, with sales and checkout data from Shopify. Built with ReactJS, Redux, and Material UI. It uses RESTful APIs and WebSockets to communicate with the backend.

In 2022, the project focused on improving user engagement and reducing customer support workload by shifting towards a user self-service approach. This involved close collaboration with the product team to gather user feedback and analyze usage patterns. As a result, several features were redesigned, initiating an ongoing process of iterative UX improvements based on real-world usage.

The project also involved enhancing quality assurance by implementing Sentry for error tracking and Cypress for automated testing. Furthermore, contributions were made to the mobile app, built with React Native and Firebase, ensuring feature consistency across platforms.

Development and web design for the Conectter web app, a project and task management solution. Built with AngularJS, Pug/Jade for HTML templating, and SASS for CSS preprocessing. Uses RESTful APIs to communicate with the backend.

Worked closely with the backend team to develop new features and improve existing ones. Had a hand in the backend for some features using PHP and MySQL.

Participated on UX/UI field researching, conducted user testing, and user interviews. Later on, applied the findings to a redesign of the web app.
