I lead a team of engineers which are responsible for the development, production, testing, integration and maintenance of the electric systems of the Solar Impulse airplane. This includes the propulsion system, energy generation, storage and distribution, as well as the many auxiliary systems like warnings, avionics, exterior lighting, communication and telemetry systems.

I developed the Power Management Computer and Telemetry Systems for the HB-SIB solar aircraft.

Software Development:- Skype Traffic Detection in Intranet- Traffic Sniffer and Categorizer- Snort Plugins- Synchronisation (SyncML)- IMS Client implementation on Win Mobile- Offline Cache and Editor for our corporate Wiki Platform- Linux based Mobile phonesHardware Development:- Specialized Robot for cable duct inspection- Miniature Hybrid (Phone) for SolarImpulse- Performance optimized UI for set-top box- Deep Packet Inspection (FPGA based pattern matching)

This was a 6 month internship. My job was to develop a new logging and analysis framework for the snort intrusion detection system. See http://weasel.sf.net

Still-Image Conference Solution for Cancer Tele-Diagnostics. During my Master Studies in France I developped an experimental Still-Image and Voice Conferencing System over UDP, for the Cancer Research Center La Cassagne in Nice. The Project won the 2nd price in the annual national medial project competition. Implementation: Visual C++ 6.0, DirectX, UDP, RTP, SPEEX, JPEG, JPEG2000

In order to support myself financially during studies I founded together with two fellow students a small Hosting and Webdesign Company. When I relocated to France to attend my double MS degree, I sold my quota in the company. By that time we already had about 350 happy customers. During these years I was the Server Administrator (LAMPP, DNS, Mail, all redhat systems). I developed a webbased GUI (perl) that allowed our customers to manage their websites themselves. I was also responsible for customer support and was the author of our internal, webbased billing application that was fully integrated with our online banking. (again perl / mysql)
