The Solen project, initiated in 2016, presented significant challenges upon my arrival in Gaziantep, Turkey. The client’s production line had specific requirements, necessitating extensive adjustments to the machine. Additionally, the absence of mechanical and electrical colleagues on-site meant that I had to take on additional responsibilities beyond my role as a software engineer.
