Projects (samples)
| Customer | Role | Description |
|---|---|---|
| AXA | developer | Implementation and test of a configurable JAAS-based authentication and authorization module for DOPiX and for the connection to AXA’s own authentication and authorization systems. Helped customer to integrate their systems and thereby using resources more efficiently. |
| Bouncy Bytes | lead | Conception, development, and maintenance of a Java EE based content management system as standard product for industrial customers. Enabled their customers to quickly bring content to the web in a safe, customizable, and maintainable way. |
| DEVK | developer | Implementation of a Spring Batch based document export and processing system. Development of a solution for performance-optimizing control of a distributed environment. Connections to Oracle and DB2 databases and DOPiX. Use of existing CI infrastructure (Jenkins). Enabled the customer to completely process all documents before the next working day. |
| DMG MORI Finance | developer | Implementation of a highly configurable Data-Warehouse software written in JavaScript. The purpose of this software is to facilitate the migration and transformation of data from various sources into a unified and structured format within a Data-Warehouse. Using JavaScript, it allows users to extract data from different databases, APIs, and flat files. It transforms the collected data by cleaning, validating, and structuring it as required. The result is clean, reliable data presented in a way that can be used for reporting, analytics, and decision-making. It plays an integral role in transforming large volumes of raw data into an insightful, coherent format for enterprise intelligence. |
| GEI/T-Systems | developer | Conception, development, and documentation of test software for programmable logic controllers. Reduced relevant bug reports from their customers to nearly none. |
| Honda Bank | developer | Development of a central database for reporting: approx. 90 import and export interfaces of various data formats. Data exchange with Temenos Core Banking System directly and via integration with Frametexx. Import and processing of ZEDA data (EBCDIC) from host systems. CI with Hudson, later Jenkins. Gave customer the feedback (dashboards and details) needed to improve their offerings. |
| Honda Motor | developer | Development and maintenance of an online software system for sales assistance, backend development with Java, web client in JavaScript, application server WebSphere, SAP connection, and database connection to DB2. Automated import/export interfaces with ETL tool Talend. Improved communication between Honda and their dealerships which led to more car sales. |

Note: I am strongly opposed to the use of AI in the hiring process. Human judgment is essential in evaluating candidates, and relying on AI tools can lead to unfair and unethical hiring practices.
