đ My very first 100% local workflow is officially live at a clientâs site and everything is running perfectly!
just a few weeks ago, this project was nothing more than an idea.Today, it has become my first true professional experience in automation, deployed for a real estate client.And honestly, what a journey. đŻ The challenge: fully automate Facebook publishing from Google Sheets The goal seemed simple at first: đŠ The client fills a Google Sheet đŠ Texts + images are retrieved đŠ Posts are automatically published on Facebook But behind this simplicity lies real engineering work:Facebook API, image processing, error handling, trigger logic, testing, optimization a genuine first professional project. đ§ From draft to production 100% functional today I built everything locally, on a modest machine, dealing with real-world constraints: ⥠Power outages đ¶ Unstable internet đ» Limited resources A reality that no tutorial really shows, especially in Africa, but itâs no excuse not to deliver an effective, robust, and adaptable solution in any environment.

They already asked me to take it further:"I want a cloud version now more stable and accessible anywhere." A true sign of trust. đĄ What this first assignment taught me In just a few days (less than 7), I learned to: - Manage a full project from start to finish - Deliver a professional solution that actually works - Explain technical concepts simply - Build a reliable workflow despite constraints - Maintain a production system for a real client This first experience confirmed one thing:Automation is not just a technical skill itâs mostly human understanding, adaptability, and rigor. đ„ïž And then there was TeamViewer A little personal touch:I remember my high school years everyone talked about TeamViewer, but I had never really used it.It was just âa software I knew by name.â Fast forward several years, and this same tool allowed me to:
