Jesper Asplund

I am currently involved in a substantial project at Ingka IKEA. Our focus is on developing an advanced digital platform designed to offer important insights for expansion projects and their support. What distinguishes our approach is our consistent dedication to adhering to IKEA's design patterns and language, along with a strong emphasis on accessibility and best practices in frontend development. This ensures that the platform seamlessly aligns with IKEA's brand identity and offers an inclusive and user-friendly experience for all stakeholders. My involvement in the project extends beyond development to collaboration with the UX team, aiding in design decisions to ensure a user-centric experience. Through code-driven automation, I streamline manual tasks, boosting operational efficiency.

At Inter I had the rewarding opportunity to contribute to the development of the renowned IKEA Kitchen Planner. Tasked with enhancing the user experience and functionality of this digital tool, I collaborated closely with the design, development and architect teams to bring the vision of a seamless kitchen planning experience to life. My role encompassed translating design mockups into responsive and interactive user interfaces that aligned with IKEA's design principles.

During my first time at Ingka, I took on the responsibility of designing and constructing internal tools aimed at effectively managing office capacities. These tools played a vital role in ensuring smooth operations by allowing efficient oversight of personnel allocation within IKEA offices. Users benefited from the ability to reserve their seats in accordance with occupancy thresholds established by office managers.

At IKANO Bank, I actively contributed to the maintenance and enhancement of the cloud platform. Some key achievements include:

Facilitated the creation of AWS resources as needed, streamlining resource provisioning and optimizing scalability.

Constructed a comprehensive cost reporting tool. This tool provided a clear overview of all expenses associated with the AWS services employed, enabling informed decision-making and cost management.

At GESHDO, I specialize in external consulting assignments while also contributing to our internal development. This involves spearheading the enhancement of our web application utilized by employees to streamline work hour reporting. Additionally, I actively engage in projects dedicated to fortifying client relationships.

I'm collaborating closely with our Technical Leads as a key participant in the Tech Excellence initiative. I serve as a mentor for interns and colleagues, fostering growth within the team. Moreover, I drive internal company growth through dynamic presentations and training sessions for our employees.

Built a web app with the purpose of simplifying birthday event planning for parents with young children. Allowed users to create an event using different templates, send out invites and reminders by sms and email via SendGrid.

As an independent contractor, I provided my specialized services to Appen, where my main job involved carefully evaluating online web content, following a detailed set of predetermined criteria and guidelines. In this role, I conducted a thorough and structured process of content assessment to make sure it met specific quality standards and goals.
