Professional Experience

On this page, you will find a list of my professional experience. Warning: quite technical. The summary is: I do about everything.

Contracting work for the TU Dresden (Dezember 2023)

Neuroimaging Center - System Neuroscience

Development of a Webapp for viewing 4D connectivity maps generated from fMRI data. The app had a frontend to navigate the maps, and a backend which does the actual rendering, since the maps are too big to send them to the client.

Senior SWE @ Neuroloop (since 01.11.21)

• Development of a Test-Framework that compiles and runs test-firmwares for embedded devcies and generates reports.
• Design and implementation of the software for an automated PCB/assembly test system. Composed of:
  • A GUI for operators that mainly exposes the system's hardware to the integrated rhai scripting engine.
  • An updater
  • A software used by electrical engeneers to write and test the test scripts that are executed by the GUI
  • A webserver to store and distribute test results and logs
• Translation of CI/CD Pipelines from Azure-DevOps to GitHub Actions
• Development of a domain specific language to ease the creation of GitHub Action workflows
• Implementation of a key exchange algorithm between two embedded devices, using WolfSSL
• Implementation of firmware signing and the corresponding signature validation
• Creation of a Yocto based linux distribution for an MS Surface Tablet
• Development of a Dash based dashboard for analysis of the data from an in human study.
• Refactoring a bluetooth driver for the STM32WB55RG
