Senior Software Architect and Consultant, Westernacher Solutions GmbH

I am currently supporting the federal chamber of notaries and lawyers in extending and managing their whole set of applications and system at an enterprise architecture level. I am also responsible for the development of a few of their systems, where I actively interact with the customers in aquiring the requirements and translate them into actionable items to be developed and tested.

Software Developer and Architect, T-Systems International GmbH

As developer first and then as architect, I developed a variety of applications for several customer within the public sector, both in the healtcare industry and also for homeland security. All applications followed a service oriented architecture with distributed services for informationexchange, data processing, reporting and used SOAP communication protocols. The technology stack consisted of: Java, JEE, Web-Services, SOA, EJB, ESB, Oracle Databases, Search-engines and several Java client technologies (Web, Java-Swing, Liferay, Android).

Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Astrophysical Institute Potsdam

My PhD research was futher explored well into my postdoc by adding more complex data and by participating in an international team to process and analyse groundbreaking data from a new intrument placed in Chile at the European Southern Observatory. Some of the predictions of my PhD Thesis could be further investigated.

PhD Student, Astrophysical Institute Potsdam

The focus of my research revolved around the radiation analysis of distant objects for understanding the evolution of the universe. No proper software was avalible at the time to make the job, so I had to create my own. Working primarily in C and Python, I created elaborate programs to process, analyse and visualize both data and results. Futhermore, I contribute to develop and extend theoretical models to explain my observations.
