WGK is a crm/erp application used to manage all patients of this company, it handles the communication with the government and also provides functionality to manage the working schedules of the nurses. The application is filled with more than 100 functionalities and uses over 400 tables which is obviously too much to write in the short description. My function was to add some features like “doorverwijzende instantie” and “wizard klachten afhandeling”. This would be both analysing the requirements, getting the info I need and implementing the features.

Customer: NMBS
IBIS is the name of the portable device that all train drivers have. This portable terminal is a paperless office incorporating the latest technologies. The device cannot just print tickets, but timetables as well. The conductor can consult timetables with it, scan the barcodes on the tickets from the Ticket Online application and use his IBIS as a mobile phone. In addition, he keeps the logbook of his work in it and uses it to contact the ALASCA module. In brief, all necessary and possible functions are available via this device. With his IBIS unit, the conductor becomes even more the ambassador for SNCB. For the customer IBIS offers the advantage that he can pay electronically on the train using a credit card. My team developed among other the sales/sms/information and template based printing engine.

Customer: Electrabel
Electrabel had a structural change in their logistic department. In the past all sites had their own logistic database but these had to me merged in order to know where spare parts are located in case of emergency. So they decided to merge all data. In the process of merging, a lot of data was corrupted or duplicated so they had to clean it. My task was to write an application that would find all duplicate data and cleaned the database. Q-grams algorithm’s were used to accomplish this tremendous task.

SKILLS
The separation of talent and skill is one of the greatest misunderstood concepts for people who are trying to excel, who have dreams, who want to do things. Talent you have naturally. Skill is only developed by hours and hours and hours of beating on your craft. — Will Smith
