Mission
Use computers and my knowledge to develop things that are (either or all)
- good for society,
- good for the environment
- drive on Mars (would settle for the Moon)
I am currently focusing on three main topics:
- How to solve the Digital Transformation
- Finding a good software development process that caters to productivity and allows a fast turnaround on security patches and feature deployment
- Where software architecture is headed and the gist of modern software solutions
Trying to leave IT better than I found it.
Experiences
- Software Project Management
- Cloud Technologies
- Embedded Software Development
- Java, Python C/C++
- Development of modules and support tools for modular synthesizers
- Not afraid of hardware prototypes or schematics
- Developed cloud-native, full-stack software using Java 21, Spring Boot, and Vaadin to facilitate digital transformation and business process optimization.
- Managed Kubernetes deployments and infrastructure provisioning with OpenTofu (Terraform), enhancing application scalability and security.
- Worked collaboratively with teams to ensure technology solutions met business requirements and improved operational efficiency.
Consulting for Digital Transformation and Humane Workspaces
Leading the department responsible for product prototype development:
- chip design, hardware design
- prototype testing
- embedded software
- integration
- EU FET-Open project combing machine learning (pre Deep Learning) to find similar structures across different knowledge domains with human-machine interaction for exploration of big data sets and bio-informatics with applications to cancer research
- National project to use semantics for a time-efficient management of file groups in hierarchical storage systems (HSM)
- Natural Audio Simulation using headphones for PC to enable a round-table experience during phone conferences.
- MathLab PoC and C++ prototype
