Kapsch AG

Business Applications

Employment
Role: Senior Software Developer
Task: Responsible for creating a progressive application for SEDUS STOLL AG in the field of modern office digitization, as well as other modern industry applications. The goal was to establish an easy-to-use and expandable codebase for managing office spaces, enabling the development and offering of high-end products to end customers: an iOS app, Android app, and a web browser site. The project was successfully completed and delivered.
Activities: In line with the customer's requirements, the application needed further development. My tasks included expanding the existing applications to enable the use of a RESTful API and facilitating the rapid in-house development of the PWA using an IONIC framework and Angular. In a team of over ten developers, we were able to agilely implement the requirements (SCRUM, including testing, Git, Jira, Confluence, Sprint Planning) and deliver them to the customer, who subsequently began populating the project with content.

Progressive Web App Development

Employment
Role: Ionic app development for Media-Saturn-Holding GmbH
Task: Mainly responsible for creating a progressive application for Media-Saturn Holding in the field of digitizing the customer card system (Saturn Card App). The goal was to create a single, easy-to-use, maintainable, and extensible code base that could be used to develop and offer high-end products for end-users: an iOS app, an Android app, and a web browser site. The project was successfully completed and delivered.
Activities: Given the customer's requirements, my task was to choose and select the appropriate technology and solution. The existing backend was somewhat outdated, with a connection to the IBM WCA Cloud and another 3rd-party software. My activities included extending the existing applications to enable the use of RESTful APIs and facilitating the rapid in-house development of the PWA using the IONIC framework and Angular. Working in a team of two (including a backend developer), we were able to create a functional MVP and hand it over to the relevant customer team according to their requirements for the future workflow (including testing, Git, Jira, Confluence, Sprint Planning). Subsequently, the customer team began populating the project with content.
