publications as a software architect
Medinspector®
"Medinspector®" is a medication management software for pharmacists and physicians, which is distributed as module for the practice management platform Doc Cirrus™ inSuite®. Being certified as medical device class I, the software fulfills high quality standards with respect to documentation, test coverage, and error handling. It comprises several microservices which share a common data model and interact through dynamic application interfaces.
front-end and back-end architecture, multiple microservices with shared code base, medical device certification class I, mongodb, NodeJS, GraphQL
Active.Portfolio.Tools
"Active.Portfolio.Tools" is a collaborative web-based portfolio management software, developed under my direction at Fonds Advisory Fa GmbH in Berlin. It is designed from scratch, to be a highly flexible and scalable platform, utilizing a broad range of state-of-the-art web technologies. Providing a full-scale desktop system within the web-browser as well as local client application, it allows a team of investment experts to manage multiple portfolios simultaneously for a wide variety of clients, each with individual investment strategies.

front-end and back-end design, micro services, scalable cloud technologies, HTML5, CSS3, SCSS, NodeJS, electron.JS, relational databases
SpectraFox
"SpectraFox" started as a tool simplifying the readability and management of data, recorded in physical experiments. No software existed for this specific purpose and type of data. The project evolved, and ended up as a full-scale data analysis platform. By now, it allows mass-treatment of data measured in different experimental setups and with machines of different manufacturers in various file formats. The usage scenario required reverse engineering of non-documented file types and efficient memory management. This led to a fast and flexible software. SpectraFox is published under an open source license.
.NET, mass data processing, data visualization, linear regression and non-linear curve fitting, multi-threaded architecture, CUDA and OpenCL parallelization, reverse engineering
Fonds Management System
The "Fonds Management System" (FMS) is a highly customized portfolio management software, written for the institutional investment company "Fonds Advisory Fa GmbH" in Berlin. The software is dedicated to simplify and automate repeating tasks, and to assist the fund managers in their investment decisions. Its most important feature is a framework, which ensures that all portfolios match the rules implied by the respective fund owners, by the supervising authorities, and by law.
.NET, WinForms, relational databases
ArmyWars
The web-based multiplayer game "ArmyWars" was my first project. Thousands of players were online each day, searching for new challenges on the battleground, or hanging around with their friends. After high school graduation in 2008 the project was continued by a friend until 2015.
