Together with my engineering team, we are realizing a module called 'SIM project development' for housing associations and project developers to monitor and plan the finance of real estate projects in great detail.

We are also migrating the SIM application to the cloud, which involves tech stack changes: most notably Java EE → Spring Boot and Oracle DB → Postgres.

I also help with an initiative of my colleague to start converting the Java codebase of the application to Kotlin.

I started in the engineering team that is working on an web application called SAM, which is used by housing associations to manage their real estate.

Later, the team split up and I joined the SIM team, which is a new application for housing associations to manage real estate projects.

The first years were a very useful experience for me to learn how to work as software developer in a company setting as well as understanding what is expected.

I successfully finished an approximately 3 month full stack Java developer bootcamp.

The first month contains lectures about the front-end, including the React library and the Angular framework.

During the second month, the lectures focus on the backend. This includes Spring Boot and JPA, but also setting up CI/CD pipelines, docker, and keycloak.

In the final month, I put the theory of the lectures into practise by building a small application with a team.

Here, I gave physics lessons to high school students under the guidance of an experienced teacher.

Even though I did not see myself teaching high school students in the future, I successfully finished the internship with a good grade: 8,0.

A side job where I helped several high school students that were struggling with physics, maths, and chemistry.

A side job where I helped university students with the exercises of several courses.

The courses where I helped include statistical physics, solid state physics, mechanics and electromagnetism.
