Projects

  • ONCE Identity: ONCE connects personal data for identification on the Internet with smartphones. Users should be able to decide for themselves which data is transmitted to the service provider. 40 companies, research institutions and municipalities are developing the necessary secure technology in a funded project, my current employer is one of them.
  • Darfichrein: Contact tracing solution to capture contact data digitally, directly in the browser, without an app or additional software. Guest registered themselves by scanning QR codes when they entered a location.
  • Clean Air Configurator: Interactive application where rooms, windows, ventilation units, air purifiers and doors can be visualised. Each of the elements have certain settings that are directly included in the calculation of the Clean Air Configurator. Built in collaboration with Fraunhofer Institute.
  • Lokalbecher: The "Lokalbecher" is a local solution to a global problem: too much disposable plastic and take-away waste. The cup can be customized by cities with their own design. I was involved by developing the backend and payment infrastructure.
  • CrowdInsights: A digital infrastructure for results-oriented participation. The software allowes effective participation by engaging a high number of stakeholders and enable them to engage constructively and specifically and see their influence on insights and decisions. My responsibility is the tenant based infrastructure running on Kubernetes. I also added relevant features such as a central OAuth service, a communication service for emails and a prerendering service for the otherwise dynamically rendered angular SPA.
