Software Engineering and Research
In the 2010s, my research group Senior Chair of
Multimedia
Technology devoted itself to model-based development of composite Web mashup applications. Concluding
this topic, I defended my PhD thesis on requirements-driven quality modeling and evaluation in Web mashups
in April 2019. The
Technische Universität Dresden's
Faculty of Computer Science awarded me with the academic degree
»Dr.-Ing.« and the distinction of »magna cum laude«. Find a comprehensive list of research papers in my bibliography.
Beside Web application frameworks such as Angular and Bootstrap, my technology
expertise covers mobile platform development, distributed service architectures and knowledge engineering
including machine learning methods. With a variety of IT research projects managed, I am familiar with
modern software architectures, containerized deployment and project management techniques. If you are

Since 2019, software-assisted construction industry processes went into my focus. Within the Thinkproject group,
I advanced to a user experience expert, which enabled my agile team to have much more pinpoint product ownership
and development tasks. In 2022, I co-founded
Planyverse, which provides
coordination and management services for prime contractors of construction projects based on a modern software
platform.
Know Your Family
Genealogy is about tracing the relationships of one's family members. Currently, I have identified over 270
genetically related people of my own family. Ten generations are covered, spanning over 200 years of shared
lifetime. To visualize the inheritance relations, I developed the Web-based tool
nacarta, which is able to align all the collected information in one huge diagram automatically,
cf. the miniature chart below and the nacarta example family.
The tool offers a comprehensive relations chart, a table view and a locations map. If you want to contribute
to my personal genealogy database, please contact me.
Travel Map and Pictures
Visiting foreign countries and getting in touch with their culture is one of
my favorite activities. Have a look at some of my pictures from around
the world. Using Jamie Wong's
framework, I created a
world travel map of my most important trips. Noteworthy travels include a
road trip from Dresden via the Swedish coast to North Cape and back via Norway and
Denmark in one and a half weeks (2007) as well as a round-the-world journey with stops in Singapore, Sydney,
New Zealand and San Francisco (2010/2011).
Crafts and Artwork
With my membership in the society
MUSEIS SAXONICIS USUI – Freunde der Staatlichen Kunstsammlungen Dresden e. V.
(MSU), I support the museums and exhibitions of the SKD, comprising
world-famous museums such as »Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister« or »Grünes Gewölbe«. Furthermore, I am part of
the voluntary organization team for special events of
Junge Freunde, which is the MSU's section of young fellows.
A blog on some of my own crafts projects and artwork
runs under the label s4ndm4n.
In addition, I contribute to Wikimedia Commons, a collection of media
files, which can be used with free licenses.
