Following the takeover of a back-office project at Safran Optronique, I was responsible for evolving an existing application while considering the challenges of a very limited technical handover. My main role consisted of redefining the tool's architecture and functionality, while ensuring security, a paramount concern in this sector.

Technical Challenges
Taking over an existing project with little to no detailed knowledge transfer, requiring a significant portion of the code to be revisited to understand the business and technical logic.
Understanding and translating complex technical requirements in a critical environment where data security is central.
Integrating improvements for better product scalability and maintainability, while ensuring regular updates without service interruption.
