Vegard Økland Software Engineer
I'm a Software Engineer, primarily working on browser based technologies. I have worked both on complex single page apps, third party components and behind the scenes tracking of user behavior. For details, see my full CV below.
The Pulse tracker is one of the key components in Schibsteds data strategy. It is used to collect all events from Schibsted web components and sites. It allows the different sites to describe and collect data about user behavior in a compatible way across the different site properties.
Written in vanilla javascript as a collection of multiple NPM modules.
Pulse Monitor give site developers and tracking administrators and insight in exactly what data is being sent to Schibsted. A key part of the data strategy of Schibsted is to collect compatible data cross site. To do this a schema was developed and Pulse monitor will tell you to what degree the data you are sending is compatible with the schema.
Written in React.js, Redux and redux-saga.
Pulse Unicorn is a Chrome Developer Tools Extension that gives you similar information that Pulse monitor will give you, but in real time inside Chrome dev tools.
Written in React.js and Redux.
Schibsted Messenger is a core component used across all Classified sites of Schibsted. It is a fully featured instant messaging solution that can be dropped in to web pages or iOS and Android apps.
Written in Vue.js and vuex.

I started this page by cloning murraco/jekyll-theme-minimal-resume . While I ended up changing everything to the point where the repos does not resemble each other at all I still want to give murraco credit for the desigh of the page.
The page is a simple as it gets, manually written HTML and CSS. The one exception is that I use the loop feature in SCSS to create all the CSS animation in the header. I wrote the page on my sabatical traveling through Asia so I tried to make it as fast as possible over a slow connection.
