As a consultant software-architect, I'm supporting teams at LichtBlick in daily software-development, as well as requirements engineering topics.

• Software architecture design.
• Azure solutions architect.
• DevOps architect (Azure DevOps).

Based on the Microsoft SQL Server Integration Services, aka SSIS, several ETL Packages have been created to read and adapt data from various sources and feed it into the internal data warehouse to be consumed by new and updated Azure Functions for external customer. ETL Packages are deployed to the SQL Server and executed automatically by the SQL Server Agent.

• Microsoft SQL Server admin.
• Azure solutions architect.
• DevOps architect and operator (Azure DevOps).

For the Blazor component library MudBlazor I implemented the following features for the new Data-Grid component:

• Refactoring FilterDefinitions API.
• Implement support for sorting on multiple columns at once.
• Implement support for resizable columns.

For a third party client of Garbe, a new API was requested to fetch specific parts of data residing in an on-premise database server. For this use-case, I developed and deployed a new Azure-Functions-App containing multiple functions to be triggered by the client. All functions are secured using AzureActiveDirectory principals to avoid sharing of unnecessary secret information. The communication with the on-premise servers containing all required data is achieved by using Azure-Hybrid-Connections inside the functions app. I established an end-to-end CI/CD pipeline, building the source-code, running all unit- and integration-tests with test result and code-coverage analysis. After a successful build, the function app is automatically deployed into the dev slot of the target function app. Deployment to test and productive slots is triggered manually via the DevOps release pipeline by the project owner.

At Serrala I'm supporting existing development teams in various aspects of the software engineering landscape. After starting with enhancing existing DevOps pipelines with additional steps for static code and vulnerability analysis, I have been added to additional teams for support in daily developer business. Topics reach from refactoring large areas of legacy code to assistance in ongoing feature implementation, team member support and guidance.

• Migration of legacy tests from MS-Test to xUnit and Moq.
• Migration of existing legacy TFS repos to GitLab and Git LFS (rewriting history).
• Enhance DevOps pipeline with static code and vulnerability analysis.
• Software architecture design.
• Software development and testing.
• Database and API design.
• DevOps architect.

Within the FEV STS GmbH, I was responsible for the design and implementation of a web application (frontend and backend) used by several companies and suppliers within VW (CARIAD, Audi, Porsche, IAV).
The application is used for semi-automatic calibration of ECU software in the area of functional safety.

• Software architecture design.
• Requirements management.
• Lead developer for a team of 3 – 5 developers.
• Software development and testing.
• Database and API design.
• DevOps architect and operator (Azure DevOps).

Performed the transition of the existing CI DevOps pipeline from an on-premise environment into the azure cloud dev-test environment.

• Jenkins to DevOps transition (Azure Pipelines with self-hosted and cloud-based build agents).
• Repository transition, including history and artifacts (SVN to git and GitHub Enterprise to Azure git).
• Setup and maintenance of Azure VMs for demo environment and shared server for SonarQube).
• Administration of Azure Organization and Subscription.

For the Geneva International Motor Show - 2019 the customer requested a prototype software, based on Android, which should run primarily on an in-car Android box connected to a touchscreen mounted to the centre of the dashboard. The app served as a demonstrator for a possible future version of the in-car software. Using a Bluetooth connection to a FlexCard-Air that was connected to the cars CAN bus, the app included functionality to control the drivers seat position, the steering wheel and the interior and exterior lights.

Additionally, an Android-based smartphone prototype application has been developed that demonstrated possible end-user software experience on their personal smartphones. When getting in range of the cars Bluetooth connection, the app was enabled to unlock the car, open the (automated) slide door and activate the headlight flasher.
