I started my career as a topographical surveyor, but quickly became fascinated by automating tedious tasks using computer tools.

After earning a degree in Geographic Information Systems (GIS), I discovered Python and began working extensively with it.

Since 2012, I’ve been involved with Odoo (formerly OpenERP), starting with version 5.0 and stock management challenges. Over time, I’ve gained experience in integration projects, system administration, and broader IT ecosystems.

Today, as an independent consultant, I help companies design, develop, and integrate business applications that streamline their workflows.


Creating a product in Odoo can sometimes feel like navigating a wild, dangerous jungle — full of twists, turns, and hidden traps that can make even the bravest explorer lose their way.

This talk presents a new module that transforms this jungle into a guided walk. A fully customizable, dynamic wizard leads users step-by-step through product creation, adapting to your business needs to ensure data consistency, faster onboarding, and fewer mistakes.

We will cover:

- Why the standard product form can overwhelm users

- How the wizard simplifies and personalizes the creation process

- Configuring steps, conditions, default values, and dependencies

- Real examples and lessons learned from implementation

If you want to turn product creation from a daunting expedition into a pleasant stroll, this talk is for you.
