About me:

1. Core Architecture & Framework Design

  • Software Company: Custom Application Framework

    • Challenge: Modernizing a legacy host-based system for a software contractor requiring a transition to a Windows environment without a pre-existing roadmap.

    • Solution: Architected a robust programming framework and GUI frontend to enable the porting of multiple applications. Designed the core structure to allow the client’s development team to efficiently migrate their product suite.

    • Impact: Delivered a scalable foundation that reduced migration time and costs and standardized development practices across the client’s team.

  • Data Center: Network Monitoring Concentrator

    • Challenge: Consolidation of fragmented monitoring data from disparate tools into a single, actionable view.

    • Solution: Developed a data-driven system aggregating real-time inputs (ICMP, SNMP, hosts, processes, logs) to visualize system health and trigger automated alerts via SMS/Email.

    • Impact: Enabled targeted incident response and provided a flexible, database-configurable interface for continuous system expansion.

2. Data Integration & High-Volume Systems

  • Swiss Major Bank: Ad-Hoc MIS (Bank Merger Integration)

    • Challenge: Unifing credit data from two merging banks with incompatible legacy systems ahead of the official MIS rollout.

    • Solution: Rapidly engineered a data mart solution to link disparate sources, delivering a reliable decision-making basis for top management.

    • Impact: Solved complex data integration challenges under tight deadlines, ensuring business continuity during a critical organizational transition.

  • Swiss Major Bank: Fraud Investigation Tools

    • Challenge: Detecting transactional abuse in massive banking datasets.

    • Solution: Engineered analysis tools to identify patterns of fraud and operational risk across high-volume transaction logs.

  • Swiss Major Bank: Executive Project Reporting

    • Challenge: Aggregating complex IT project status data for top-level management visibility.

    • Solution: Built a centralized reporting engine to standardize and visualize project health across the organization.

3. Mobile & Field Solutions

  • Solar Energy Company: Native Android Field App

    • Challenge: Enable field engineers to capture AC/DC measurements and photo documentation during solar system installations.

    • Solution: Developed a native Android application (Java) to collect measurements data, upload installation photos (inverters, wiring), and sync seamlessly with the central database.

    • Impact: Streamlined field operations and ensured data integrity for critical infrastructure projects.

4. Complex Domain Solutions

  • Machine Factory: Integrated Production & ERP Suite

    • Scope: Full lifecycle development of Production Planning, Inventory Valuation, Order Management, Sales Management and Quality Control modules.

    • Technical: Integrated ERP suite to optimize capacity planning and automate production, sales, quality and inventory tracking.

  • Power Industry: Data Acquisition Configurator

    • Scope: Developement of a data acquisition configurator for turbine testing.

    • Technical: Managed measurment computers and standalone testing boards interfaces, statistical analysis of sensor data, automated tracking points verification and data collection and reporting of test runs data.

  • Chemical Industry: Process Control

    • Scope: data acquisition for wastewater compliance monitoring.

    • Technical: Managed PLC interfaces, statistical analysis of sensor data, and automated reporting for regulatory compliance.

5. Strategic Leadership & Consulting

  • Software House: CEO & Lead Architect / Solution Engineer

    • Overview: Project management, directing the architecture and delivery of custom enterprise solutions for 20+ clients across banking, chemical, and logistics sectors.

    • Expertise: Project Management, System Architecture, API Design, Legacy Modernization, and Full-Stack Development (C, C++, Java, .NET, perl).
