His next move was to invest in Victron Energy devices which allowed him to develop his own system configurations using Victron&#8217;s open-source software.<\/p>\n<p>He didn&#8217;t waste much time. Reconfiguring a redundant internet router he engineered it to gather information from Victron devices &#8211; just as if it were a Color Control GX- \u00a0and send system data to his personal cloud storage, website and phone.<\/p>\n<p>Writing a blog about how that had been achieved was enough to secure him employment with our software development team!<\/p>\n<p>On his way home from the office one day, on a hunch he bought an Android to USB adaptor and worked through the night on what he describes as a &#8216;nerdy project&#8217; to enable his BMV700 battery monitor to present data on his phone.<\/p>\n<p>His colleagues found the idea so interesting that some weeks later he was offered the opportunity of taking over the development of our nascent VictronConnect app from the out-sourced consultants and re-building it from scratch, in-house.<\/p>\n<h4>Key Milestones in the development of VictronConnect<\/h4>\n<p><div id=\"attachment_27608\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2023\/12\/TimeLine_246405569.png\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-27608\" class=\"wp-image-27608 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2023\/12\/TimeLine_246405569-1024x543.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"543\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2023\/12\/TimeLine_246405569-1024x543.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2023\/12\/TimeLine_246405569-1500x796.png 1500w, https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2023\/12\/TimeLine_246405569-750x398.png 750w, https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2023\/12\/TimeLine_246405569-2048x1086.png 2048w, https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2023\/12\/TimeLine_246405569-1536x815.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2023\/12\/TimeLine_246405569-300x159.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-27608\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">[Click to enlarge image]<\/p><\/div><em>Jes\u00fas P\u00e9rez<\/em> laments that so many years work can be summed up in so few words &#8211;

Although I continue to collaborate with the interface and other pieces of software for GX products, the project that occupies most of my time is VictronConnect in which I play the role of product owner and lead developer.<\/p>\n<p>I grew up in Torrent, a town 10km from the city of Valencia where I studied software engineering. There I worked for several years in the IT department of a container terminal in the port of Valencia. Until I made the decision that it was not yet time to settle down and I went to live in Reading (England) where I lived and worked for a year.<\/p>\n<p>In the United Kingdom, I lived great moments, I met many people, as well as British culture and many others. This gave me good tools and experience for my next stage, moving to Groningen, Netherlands.<\/p>\n<p>My interest in technology arose in me as a child, I remember being fascinated watching how my father fixed that old television, taking readings with a multimeter until he found out which component was failing, then he replaced it and voila, it worked again!<\/p>\n<p>My main passion has always been technology in general and computing specifically. Whenever I can I work on a personal project related to it. One of these projects, a monitoring software for my brand new BMV-600 caught the attention of Matthijs Vader, who contacted me to write about my project on this very blog and the rest is history\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Another of my hobbies is cooking, I like to challenge myself to cook dishes from my favorite restaurants at home and I don&#8217;t stop until I match the flavor, although I have to say that most of the time I end up surpassing it.<\/p>\n<p>So in my free time you will always find me with a laptop or a frying pan in my hands, as long as I am not busy with what I enjoy most in my life: spending time doing any activity with my family.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2023\/11\/family_245035970-scaled.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><div class=\"full-size-image container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-27481\" src=\"https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2023\/11\/family_245035970-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2023\/11\/family_245035970-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2023\/11\/family_245035970-1500x1125.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2023\/11\/family_245035970-750x563.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2023\/11\/family_245035970-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2023\/11\/family_245035970-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2023\/11\/family_245035970-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2023\/11\/family_245035970-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/div><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I currently reside in Valencia where I have finally settled down and live happily with my wife M\u00f3nica and my 21-month-old son Alonso.<\/p>\n<p>At home we are never bored.
