Experience
Svea Solar Mobile App
https://sveasolar.com/app/Svea Solar is one of Europe's leading solar companies, with local offices in Sweden, Spain, Germany, Belgium, and the Netherlands with 20.000+ customers.
The mobile app is for customers who own Svea Solar products, such as solar panels, inverters, etc.
The app is helpful to:
• Understand how much electricity the user is consuming in a particular house;
• Understand how the changes affect both the environment and the user's wallet;
• Get more out of solar cells. See when to produce the most and make better decisions.
I worked as a mobile app developer, and my main focus was on new app features that required dynamic graphs, tooltips, and lists with animations. On top of that, I worked hard to restructure the project to get it in a better shape in terms of code quality, readability, maintainability, and unit testing.

Siemens Sinumerik Service Assistant
This project targeted technicians who work with Siemens machines daily. The application collects diagnostic data from problems that occurred and implements an AI algorithm to make suggestions on similar issues, which leads to better efficiency and quick problem solution. It's an automated stack overflow for machines.
I worked as a full-stack developer and developed the project from scratch, including setting up React Native, React, AWS Serverless, Cognito, S3, security groups, etc. I handled every part of the application to make sure it was always up and running and asserted customer satisfaction.
