Hiya! My name is Emil Fjellström. I’m a Frontend Developer currently located in London, United Kingdom. I’ve been pursuing a career as a developer since I was 16 and studying Game design in high school. Following this I took a higher education program in Frontend Development. Since then I have undertaken a number of interneships and have been working professional as a Frontend Developer for the past 4 years.

Billhop

2019 - 2020

While working at Billhop I have mostly been tasked with making the Frontend for the new back office system used by our staff. The only requirement I had starting this project was that it would be made with Ant Design as a style guide.

From previous experience with React and Typescript, this felt like a natural decision to take. I have also helped make some of the microservices in Node.js and fetching its data from MongoDB to the client.

DIK

2018 - 2019

DIK is a workers union in Sweden for those in the culture, communication, and creativity sector. The client wanted a full rebranding including moving the CRM system and a new website for all member services.

One of their main requests was for the new website to be fast. Therefore we decided to make an SSR website with Gatsby. SSR standing for server-side rendering means that the website content would be fully loaded on the server-side and not on the client-side making the page load super fast. Together with Gatsby, the site is running React with Typescript for extra reliability.

Travelers Gem (SAS)

2018 - 2018

SAS wanted a platform for individuals to share travel experiences and earn rewards. Users were able to create posts on the website detailing secret spots around the world sharing details on often unknown destinations. Receiving recognition on posts through likes and shares gave the user SAS Eurobonus points.

The project was build in Vue and I built the back office system for approving/disapproving Gems, showing statistics, managing users, etc.

The Zlatan Challenge

2018 - 2018

The purpose of the project was to bet against Zlatan in the 2018 FIFA World Cup. This project was built using Nuxt as a framework. Nuxt is a more complex server-side render. Vue normally renders components through client-side rendering. By default, Vue components produce and manipulate DOM in the browser as output. However, it is also possible to render the same components into HTML string on the server, send them directly to the browser, and finally “hydrate” the static markup into a fully interactive app on the client.

This makes for an extremely fast webpage. The HTML on the server is then also cached through Cloudflare to help with the hoards of users coming from Zlatan's social media.

Guldbaggen Collectibles

2017 - 2017

The project for Guldbaggen Collectibles was a simple HTML/CSS website to show of the products for sale during the annual Guldbagge Gala in Stockholm. The products for sale where reference objects to the movies nominated at the 2017 Guldbagge Gala.

For this event, I also helped model the winners trophy for the audience awards which in previous years had been a painting.

Auktionstipset

2017 - 2017

For this project, Auktionstipset was having a pop-up shop at the Acne Christmas party. They brought with them 5 objects that were out for auction during the party.

The website that was build had SMS integrated so that you could bid on items through your phone via text. This was made with PHP in the backend and a React web app in the frontend.

Kshanti Yoga

2017 - 2017

Kshanti Yoga is a yoga studio in Paris. They wanted an update for their old WordPress site. For this project, we build a new template for them to use as well as integration with mindbody plug-in for the booking service.
