Working Experience

Tradegate AG, Berlin	2012 - now
Tradegate is Germany's second largest stock exchange. I design and write code for critical backend components in C++ and SQL as well as some web development in PHP (incl. HTML/Javascript). Most programs run on a high-performance Linux cluster.

BMW AG, Munich	2011
I implemented several parts of the Human-Machine-Interface of BMW cars - including their brands Mini and Bentley - especially the communication sub-system (connection to smartphones and internet access). Pretty much all code was written in portable C++ because the car computer is an embedded system whose hardware changed quite significantly over the years.

Brainlab AG, Feldkirchen/Munich

2006-2010

At Brainlab, I was part of the  ExacTrac® software team. We designed and implemented a patient positioning system for radiotherapy and radiosurgery (cancer treatment). As of 2010, we were working on its 6th generation. One of my main responsibilities was to adapt our software in close cooperation with  Varian to their Trilogy™ and  TrueBeam™ linear accelerator series creating the joint  Novalis product. These machines are installed at a triple-digit number of hospitals worldwide and generate a continuously growing revenue stream of several hundred million US-$ annually. My everyday work required an excellent knowledge of UML, Design Patterns, XML, Test Strategies and much more. Almost all programming was done in C++. Some core components were rewritten to use the massive computing power of Nvidia®'s latest GPUs. Dr. Kajetan Berlinger and me submitted a patent application "Tracking Representations of Indicator Body Parts" which was published as  WO/2011/107145 by  WIPO. I spent about four weeks a year visiting customers and partners in Europe and USA for R&D discussions, installations and upgrades.
