• Developed and programmed automated testing systems for body controller, gateways, intelligent antenna modules and smart access systems. Optimized and evaluated environmental qualification tests to detect and eliminate potential defects. • Contributed and drove generic test concepts and methods for new automotive technologies like Bluetooth Low Energy, Broadr-Reach, FlexRay and CAN-FD. • Moderated trainings and transferred technology and know-how to new locations worldwide

• Programmed smaller websites, a shop and a back office (dashboard and member area) with PHP or the Laravel framework and MySQL. • Integration of Payment providers via API for automated cash flow including Bitcoin. • Aimed to provide the clients a good user interface and user experience with the applications (e.g. continuous improvement due to tracking, tests and feedback). • Analyzed and optimized marketing activities in branch specific networks and social media.

• Developed hardware and software for a touch screen based kiosk system (internet terminals, info terminals, online games and gambling). • Integration of third-party software like games, browser or interfaces. • Sales and distribution to clients throughout Europe including bars, clubs and betting shops. • Generated more than €100k in sales during the first year of operation. • Closed corporation in end of 2017 to focus on outside opportunities.

Algorithmic Automated Financial Trading • Collected and analyzed data, simulated strategies and developed algorithms for live testing and automated trading. • Development of a new algorithmic analytic tool to fulfill special requirements including the ability to handle gigabytes of data. • With an initial investment of €100k a non leveraged volume of €6.3 million was traded and revenue of €450k was generated with 42k trades. • An interview can be found in the Traders Magazine - October 2017.

Automated Sports Betting and Predicting Match Results • Analyzed, tracked and compared bookmaker odds to determine probabilities.
