During May 2025, Laes worked on the Ocean1029/OR_final repository, focusing on business value through technical delivery. They developed a heuristic route solver in Python, implementing run_heuristic.py to process input data and parameters, execute optimization routines, and output routing solutions for decision support. Their approach emphasized repeatable workflows and clear artifact management, including the integration and documentation of solver outputs to streamline stakeholder demos. Laes also managed project presentation assets, updating and organizing PowerPoint files to maintain repository clarity. Their work demonstrated depth in data processing, heuristics, and optimization, resulting in a project that was both technically robust and demo-ready.
