Nodalview is an all-in-one platform designed for real estate professionals. Founded in 2016, the Belgian scale-up raised €4.1 million in 2022, bringing its total funding to €10 million since its inception. The platform produces over 10 million photos for more than 500,000 properties in 2024.

I joined Nodalview for a 2-month assignment to update the app's authentication flow. The mission was extended to 9 months to participate in the complete revamp of the iOS app. I also had a training role and was tasked with converting part of the codebase from Objective-C to Swift.

The composition of my team:

• The CTO (manager role)

• Two Product Owners

• A designer for the revamp of the views

• 2 mobile developers: one Android and one full-stack whom I helped upskill in iOS.

As an iOS developer, my responsibilities included:

• Updating the application with new visuals provided by the designers

• Creating a module within the app containing the brand new Design System

• Migrating the application's architecture from MVVM to MVVM-C (integrating the Coordinator pattern)

• Translating part of the legacy Objective-C & UIKit codebase to Swift & SwiftUI

• Providing corrective maintenance for the application.

I also carried out significant refactoring and restructuring of the application's legacy codebase. I also contributed to upskilling the company's main mobile developer who was not senior in iOS.

Stellantis is a major automotive group created in 2021 following the merger of PSA and FCA (Fiat Chrysler Automobiles), and it owns 14 car brands. The group has over 250,000 employees worldwide and generates annual revenue in the hundreds of billions of euros.

I joined Stellantis to work on a testing application designed to validate the stability of deliverables from other teams. This mission followed a previous assignment I completed there in 2020.

Our team consisted of:

• A Product Owner

• A Scrum Master

• 6 mobile developers (3 iOS / 3 Android, including a lead for each platform).

As an iOS developer, my responsibilities included:

• Developing the iOS mobile application in Swift

• Replicating graphical specifications exactly (80% UIKit / 20% SwiftUI)

• Monitoring application stability

• Estimating complexity points for various tasks

• Mentoring other iOS developers: pair programming, code reviews, supporting the lead developer

• Distributing new application versions via TestFlight.

I also, and most importantly, performed significant refactoring and standardization of the entire application codebase. I also helped upskill the team's lead developer who was not senior.

Biloba is a startup specializing in telemedicine for instant messaging. The company's first product was a digital health record.

I joined the Biloba team for a short assignment (3 months) as part of a one-off redesign of their applications.

The team consisted of:

• 2 backend developers

• 3 frontend developers

• 2 Android developers

• 2 iOS developers (including myself)

• 1 graphic designer.

My role as an iOS developer included bug fixing and participation in technical meetings. My main task in this assignment was to merge their two applications. I had to integrate the digital health record into the more recent medical chat application. The Swift code for the health record was redone from scratch (displaying curves and graphs in Swift), and the new views were created with SwiftUI.
