Define the problem > Gather information > Analyze the situation > Generate possible solutions > Evaluate the options > Choose the best solution > Develop an action plan > Take Action.
Problem-solving is not always a linear process. You may need to revisit certain steps, modify your approach, or seek assistance from others along the way. The key is to remain persistent, open-minded, and solution-oriented.

Set clear goals > Self-reflection and self-awareness > Continuous learning > Expand your comfort zone > Develop new skills > Seek feedback.
Remember that development is a continuous process. It requires patience, dedication, and self-reflection.

Understand the requirements > Test planning > Test environment setup > Record and track defects > Performance and load testing > Test closure.
It's important to note that the specific testing approach and techniques can vary depending on the type of product or system being tested.

Preparing for deployment > Configuration and environment setup > Packaging the application > Deployment strategy selection > Deployment execution > Monitoring and testing > Rollback and contingency planning.
Document the deployment process, including configurations, dependencies, and any specific deployment instructions. Regularly review and improve the deployment process based on feedback and lessons learned from each deployment cycle.

Backend Developer - present

- Solar Panel Monitoring, Integration and Control Panel System

Led the development of a project from scratch focused on integrating various solar panel solutions using APIs from major industry providers, including Huawei, Sungrow Power, SolarSolution Delta EMEA, and Kehua. I was also involved in the frontend project, assisting frontend developers, reviewing merge requests, and creating tasks in parallel with backend development. The project facilitated the remote monitoring and management of solar panel performance, including energy generation data, system health checks, and fault alerts. The system included a user-friendly Admin Panel with detailed reporting, real-time metrics, and energy optimization suggestions. I implemented service email notifications for alarm control, API errors, and other critical events. This integration allowed seamless communication between solar systems and third-party platforms, enabling end-users to maximize energy output and efficiency. Tech used: NodeJS, TypeScript, Fastify, MongoDB, Typegoose, Typebox, Docker, Luxon, CronJob, Angular.

- Cleaning Services Project

I worked on a large-scale platform project utilizing a microservices architecture. It is the #1 cleaning services platform in Belgium, serving users across the entire country.
