• Overview: Developing and maintaining applications used on Jan De Nul's maritime vessels.

• Responsibilities: ○ Back-end development with .NET 8 and front-end interfaces using Blazor. ○ Containerization of multiple components (APIs, database, Nginx server, HiveMQ MQTT broker) via Docker Compose on a Linux environment. ○ Setting up and managing an MQTT broker (HiveMQ) for real-time data exchange between distributed systems on ships.

• Achievements: ○ Streamlined deployment processes, reducing setup time through effective Docker orchestration. ○ Improved data communication reliability aboard maritime vessels by introducing a robust MQTT architecture.

• Tech stack: ○ .NET 8 ○ Blazor ○ Docker ○ HiveMQ

• Overview: Engaged in diverse .NET and JavaScript projects, including WCF services and front-end refactoring initiatives.

• Key Projects & Contributions: ○ WCF .NET Project: Maintained and enhanced existing WCF services for improved performance and reliability. ○ Office App Migration: Converted a legacy Angular application into a React NextJS solution for a more modern and scalable front end. ○ Data Engineering & Predictive Analysis: Built statistical models and basic machine learning pipelines to predict employee driving behavior, focusing on data ingestion, cleaning, and feature engineering.

• Achievements: ○ Significantly reduced code complexity by migrating to NextJS, enhancing maintainability and performance. ○ Delivered actionable insights on driving patterns by implementing regression and classification methods.

• Tech stack: ○ Next.js ○ WCF ○ Microsoft Fabric / Azure Synapse

• Focus: Specialized in developing and deploying MES software to streamline production floor operations across a variety of industries.

• Major Accomplishments: ○ Prototyping New MES Features: Ensured efficient integration and reduced errors on the shop floor by deploying pilot solutions prior to full-scale rollout. ○ Extrusion Industry (IPB): Created a shopfloor app to manage orders with enhanced precision, reducing operational errors. ○ Chemical Industry (Christeyns): Integrated a real-time data exchange system using Node-RED, improving decision-making speed. ○ Metal Assembly Industry (Silbbox): Developed a platform for assembly scheduling, real-time welding/electricity data capture, and improved production analysis. ○ Contributed to Mydibell (food industry) and Vanheede (waste management) by enhancing software infrastructure without the initial prototyping phase.

• Tech Stack: ○ ReactJS / React Native ○ .Net Core / Node.js / Node-RED / WebApi / SOAP / Hangfire
