04/2012 : SBB (Schweizerische Bundes Bahnen), SOA Architecture for Marketing,Sales &

Distribution

Role: Software/Enterprise Architect, Business Analyst

[Swiss Railway Company: http://www.sbb.ch/en/corporation/the-

company.html]

The SBB are planning to evolutionary change their current systems and software architecture for the

marketing, sales & distribution department into SOA style. I participated in designing the future

services, and took the lead for the master data architecture.

Achievements: There was little awareness of how important master data is, with almost no data

governance. Besides sucessfully designing the new master data landscape, I helped raising the overall

awareness of the importance of this most valuable asset.

Technology & Tools: Sparx Enterprise Architect

10/2011 -

11/2011 : SBB (Schweizerische Bundes Bahnen), Timetable Webservice for Mobiles

Role: Senior Software Developer, Software Architect

[www.sbb.ch]

Architecture and development of a proof of concept for a Webservice that delivers timetable data to

the SBB Mobile Webclients (iPhone and Android). WSDL Design, Java programming, development

and integration of the backend adapters, transformation into SOAP and JSON (and vice versa). Field

testing we took our mobiles into the trains to measure data transfer rates.

Achievements: I sucessfully developed a specification and realized the prototype (in a team of 3)

which reduced the amount of transmitted data about 10x. This prototype will most likely result in a

project for production use.

Technology& Tools: Websphere 7, Java, JEE, JAX-

WS, JAXB, XML, Axis, Web Services, SOAP, JSON,

JUnit, Maven, Eclipse, RSA, Subversion

10/2011 : SBB (Schweizerische Bundes Bahnen) Project GUS

Role: Senior Software Developer, Software Architect, Business Analyst

[Swiss Railway Company: http://www.sbb.ch/en/corporation/the-

company.html]

The SBB is connecting the new interface of the Deutsche Bahn GUS to its central IT system (MCS)

to be able to sell a much broader range of international products through their online channels (like

Euro-

Special, Weekend Offers, Super Saver Tickets), while at the same time relaunching their

website.

My task was to analyze requirements and develop critical parts of the system (like refactoring and

tuning the highly complex integration interfaces to other railway companies) . I have been SPOC for

the new timetable integration layer. Additionally, I have been working on performance and memory

optimization.

Achievements: successful support of the launch. Optimized and refactored several important parts of

the system. Integration of a new timetable interface. Last minute fixes of blocking bugs. Proposal of a

new architecture for mobiles. Refactoring of highly complex integration layers.

05/2010 10/2010: Frameplay: Social Games and Cross Promotion Network

Role: CTO

[Frameplay was a German startup company in the social games sector, founded in March 2010].

Part 1: Spread Star Network: Cross Promotion for Social Games

SpreadStar enables App Developers to cross promote their games by adding a banner on top their

apps where Icons of other apps are displayed, and vice versa. Advanced features are in concept

phase.

I added the details to the concept, created the software architecture and built a prototype. The

prototype includes all important technology features: It is running with the Spring framework on the

Google App Engine, uses JPA, the Google Data Store, the Google Task Q and JCache. It is optimized

for fast data reads, and uses background tasks to save usage statistics.

Part 2: Social Games for the VZ Networks

My task was to define the technologies and the architecture for the framework on which the games

are built. The following modules have been abstracted: Social API, Server Core and payment

provider. In general, Enterprise Technology is used, with real time components where required.

I was involved in the development of the game concepts, and managed the offshore developers

(Ukraine) using an agile, iterative project management (Scrum). Also, I made regular code reviews,

suggested improvements, made some architecture prototyping and created code samples.

The installation and administration of the production servers was also part of my responsibility.

Achievements: Successfully launched two games on a German social network. Installed the

SpreadStar Prototype on GAE.

Pattern Science Prototypes

Role: Requirements Engineer, Technical Project Lead, Software Architect

[Pattern Science AG (www.pattern-

science.com) is a spinoff company of CID GmbH (www.cid-

online.net), a

German Development company with about 120 developers including the ones in Lithuania and Bulgaria.]

Concepts, architectures and prototypes for applications using semantic technology (text mining, data

mining, web mining, entity recognition, clustering, trend detection).

a) I developed a finance ontology in OWL, created the architecture for an explorer with facetted

browsing based on generic OWL s and managed the developers during implementation.

b) My task was to create the concept and architecture of a prototype for a ticketing system with

automatic distribution of tickets based on clustering of incoming tickets, and manage the team

during development.

c) Again, I created the concept and architecture for a prototype, this time for a system that detects

emerging trends in the web.

Achievements: All developed prototypes were highly appreciated by potential customers and one or

two will most likely lead to a project.

Role: Business Design, Software Architect, Developer

Development of a new kind of Gaming Portal (Game-

03/2008 03/2009: FAZ.net, FAZfinance.net (leading German Newspaper)

Role: Technical Team Lead, Software Architect

[FAZ is a leading German Newspaper. http://www.faz.net]

Relaunch of the FAZ Portals (News and Finance). I have been technical project lead of the 22-

person

team in the development company (most developers are based in Lithuania) and was coordinating 3

external companies that were delivering portal modules. I was creating software architectures (SaaS,

SOA), enhancing business concepts, integrating heterogeneous systems on a conceptual level (Java

Backends, .NET Backends, several data providers), conducted code reviews and was overseeing test

and release planning and managing tasks. Some of the covered areas:

SSO, Content Management and Selection (using a CMS on SOA Basis developed for this purpose, with

SaaS capability), Entity Recognition, semantics, SEO, development of a portal framework, content

management, performance tuning, live operation,. Integration Java

>.NET via web services (Axis)

The project was organized and managed in a mix consisting of Scrum and classical hierarchic

structure.

Achievements: Under high time pressure and late changing requirements we managed to go live with

both portals almost in time. I was able to synchronize the highly distributed team and different

technologies, and made sure the desired architecture (of which I developed some parts) was

implemented.

06/2007 02/2008: SBB (Schweizerische Bundes Bahnen)-

VEKTOR Lokalisierung

Role: Requirements Engineer, Software Architect, Developer

[Swiss Railway Company: http://www.sbb.ch/en/corporation/the-

company.html]

With VEKTOR Lokalisierung, the SBB started to track its Cargo trains throughout Switzerland,

Germany and Italy with an automated system. The goal is to gather train location information from

different channels and show the data as tables and in Google maps. Until then, all these channels had

to be watched separately and lots of manual processing was needed. For the solution, several 3rd

party systems had to be connected (Using JCA) to the application internal JMS Bus, where messages

-

were transformed into the European TAF/TSI standard to be available for other systems.

My task was to consolidate requirements, create the software architecture and develop the

prototype for the application.

Application Modules: Webservice Interface for SMS Messages, Data Replication Interface to get data

from the planning system, Flat File Interface to read German train planning data, Administration

Frontend, Visualization / Search frontend, ETA Forecast Module.

All modules have been realized using SOA architecture so they can operate independently and are

easily scalable.

Achievements: The built prototype was good enough to make it into production with few

modifications, so a lot of time & effort was saved.
