Experience
Svea Solar Mobile App
https://sveasolar.com/app/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
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.
