Philip Bruér

Led the frontend development of a React-agnostic collaborative whiteboard platform, encompassing a full-scale cloud SaaS web application, an Electron desktop app, and an Android-based touch-screen device with real-time collaboration capabilities. Implemented offline-first support on the client using IndexedDB, with the solution hosted on Google Cloud Platform (GCP).

Oversaw frontend delivery, including CI/CD pipelines, deployments, code quality improvements, and the implementation of best practices.

During my engagement with Region Skåne, I architected and built a complete permission management solution from the ground up as part of Skånes Digitala Vårdsystem (SDV), one of Sweden’s largest digital healthcare initiatives. My work focused on permission integration, delivering a secure access to patient data for medical staff, while empowering administrators to efficiently manage access rights through a modern, intuitive interface.

As lead engineer, I drove all aspects of frontend development, from technical design and implementation to DevOps and CI/CD pipeline management in Azure. I also defined and managed RESTful API and schema design to ensure secure, efficient data interoperability across SDV’s centralized platform for medical records, permissions, and prescription management. My leadership extended to UX and design, delivering an intuitive and user-friendly interface that established a strong foundation for usability and effectiveness from day one.

Rescued the project from a failing state, facing an extremely short deadline of three months. I transformed it from nearly non-existent to a complete and fully operational product. It became so successful that Region Skåne began discussions about selling it to other regions in Sweden.

Developed the frontend and designed the REST API schemas for Signe, an integrated reporting tool for healthcare providers at Region Skåne, within a small, highly autonomous team. This structure placed significant responsibility on each of us, demanding a high level of initiative and collaboration. In addition to designing a user-friendly interface for efficient user management and streamlined reporting processes, I implemented user management functionalities and integrated Active Directory for seamless authentication and secure access control. I also took charge of all frontend DevOps, including CI/CD processes, ensuring a smooth and efficient deployment pipeline.

Rejoined the same team as back in 2020 where we were creating a SaaS service for centralizing all AXIS IoT-devices in a complex UI with WebSocket, MQTT.

During my second term, I focused of the broader scope within the AXIS Organization, pushing change for collaboration between all UX and frontend developers. Bring my knowledge trying to get the company to embrace a centralized design, tech-stack. Also focused a lot on knowledge spreading and created forums for all UX and frontend devs.

I led the push for a unified design and tech stack across the organization to make our development work more cohesive and efficient. I also focused on spreading knowledge by setting up forums and spaces where UX and frontend developers could easily share ideas and learn from each other.

Integrated new iGaming products and together with an architecture capable of world class SEO performance and integrations with vast array of known payment providers.

Started as a full-stack developer in an agile, cross-functional team, working on a monolithic C#/.NET codebase for their CMS platform supporting SaaS products.

I was given full ownership of the frontend rewrite, leading the migration to a modern headless architecture using React and TypeScript. I was responsible for all architectural decisions and played a key role in designing REST API schemas. I architected and delivered a comprehensive design system based on atomic design principles, building the company’s unique, pixel-perfect component library from the ground up and ensuring full accessibility throughout.

Back then, before the millennium, almost everyone I knew was playing an online soccer manager game called Hattrick. Created one of the largest sites for the Swedish Hattrick community, with PHP, HTML, and CSS

Another notable project from that period was the creation of one of the most trafficked MP3 websites during the Napster era, which facilitated access to song downloads through legal linking.
