builds Odoo that runs itself.

Architected a real-time, device-to-cloud integration connecting ZKTeco biometric devices directly to a cloud-hosted Odoo.sh instance — every punch lands as an attendance record automatically, with no on-premise polling infrastructure or manual entry.

Fleet-ready device management. Each physical device is registered in Odoo with its IP, port, and a unique serial number, so the integration scales to multiple devices simultaneously without touching code. Employees are matched by the device ID number enrolled on the machine against the same ID on their Odoo employee record.

Three ways data reaches Odoo — built to cover both on-premise and cloud-hosted deployments:

• Shift-based rules engine — every punch is matched to the employee's shift and classified as on-time, late, short-leave, or absent, based on configurable margins.
• Open-record handling — the first punch of the day opens an attendance record; a second punch updates it with the real check-out time.
• Consistent logic — the same classification runs identically regardless of which of the three delivery methods was used.
• Duplicate protection — repeated punches are detected and skipped automatically.
• Safe failure handling — unregistered devices and unmatched employees are ignored rather than erroring, with details logged for troubleshooting.
• Clock drift compensation — a per-device time offset corrects for devices whose internal clock can't be adjusted.

Built a persistent, per-user dispatch list on Sales Orders so warehouse/dispatch teams can build a print-ready dispatch batch across multiple pages and filters, without losing their selection along the way.

Odoo's native list-view checkbox selection resets on every page change or filter — unworkable for a team assembling a dispatch batch from dozens of orders across several sessions. This module replaces that with a standing, per-user cart that persists until explicitly printed.

• Cross-page, cross-session selection — orders added to the dispatch list stay there regardless of navigation, filters, or pagination.
• One-click reporting — print the full standing list as a PDF or XLSX directly from the Sales Orders print menu, with the list clearing automatically afterward.
• Per-user scoping — each user maintains their own independent dispatch list.
• Fallback review screen — a dedicated view to inspect, remove individual entries, or print outside the main flow.

Traces the full multi-stage production chain behind a single Sale Order — how far each stage has progressed — without manually clicking through linked Manufacturing Orders one by one.

One finished product isn't made in a single Manufacturing Order — it passes through several semi-finished stages, each with its own MO, chained together only implicitly through Odoo's origin field. There was no single screen showing that whole chain and its status at a glance.

• Dynamic chain discovery — starting from the SO's final MO, the module walks backward through origin references until it reaches the earliest stage, then reverses the list into real production order. No stage codes are hardcoded, so it adapts to products with more, fewer, or different stages.
• Stage labeling from component codes — the stage name is read directly from the component's internal reference suffix.
• Lookup by Sale Order — pull one SO's full chain on demand.
• Lookup by delivery date range — pull every SO due in a date range, each with its own chain, for reviewing a day or week of orders at once.
• Two entry points — a dedicated Manufacturing menu, or a smart button on the Sale Order form for a one-click, pre-loaded view.
• Color-coded exports — PDF and XLSX exports, grouped by SO, with the same status color-coding, for sharing outside Odoo.

Manages multiple packaging options per product with accurate quantity handling across different configurations, integrated directly into inventory and sales workflows. Published publicly on the Odoo Apps Store.

Integrates the ChatGPT API into Odoo to generate automated customer support responses directly inside Odoo forms and views, cutting down manual query handling and speeding up response times.
