	2018-10	-		Volkswagen		Consultant
	Task: Development of a company profile for UML modeling Business Area: Automotive Skills: Enterprise Architect, Development, Development, Customer Specific Architecture, OO Analysis, UML
	2009-04	-	2012-04	Bombardier		SysML Consultant
	Task: The focus in this project was on domain analysis and the development of an UML profile based on SysML. Additionally, programmers and system engineers needed to be trained to use Enterprise Architect for their daily work. To support that, a business process was developed and introduced. Furthermore the configuration management for Enterprise Architect needed to be set up. This included deployment of MySQL and later MS SQL Server. ClearCase was used to take nightly model snapshots of the model. The checkout scheme did not work well for several reasons. To get requirements in synch with DOORS in the ways the customer demanded, it was necessary to implement an export routine on the DOORS side and an add-in for Enterprise Architect. To fulfill the very specific documentation requirements, an add-in was developed which produced PDF from LaTeX files.

	1986-09	-	1988-08	Siemens AG		Developer
	Task: Based on IBM's public domain CP/370 kernel a virtual machine was developed to serve an (almost) native BS2000. The deployed hardware supported the complete 370 instruction set on a single board (mini mainframe). I/O requests were served on a UNIX system running in parallel. This I/O server simulated a standard DASD and also a 3270 stream. The task was to extend and adapt the IO-handler in CP and the source code management under CMS. Project language was partly English. Business Area: SW Supplier Skills: Assembler, IBM/370, Sinix, VM/370, Development
	1985-08	-	1986-07	Technische Univerität Berlin		Student
	Task: The implementation of a complete Modula-2 compiler under CP/CMS on an IBM/370 was subject of my thesis. Bootstrapping was done using a re-implementation of the Modula-2 compiler in Pascal-VS since both languages are very similar. Therefore a cross-compiler was implemented. The produced intermediate code (M-Code) was already executable with an also implemented interpreter. The next step was the native code generation for /370. Now the compiler could be compiled by itself. Additionally a complete library system was implemented to support the object oriented possibilities of Modula-2 (here separation of interface and realization). Business Area: University Skills: Assembler, IBM/370, Modula-2, VM/370, Development
	1984-05	-	1985-03	IVU GmbH		Developer
	Task: For the Berlin municipal waste collection a system was implemented to record waste weights on a VAX under RSX using FORTRAN. The real-time application calculated the weight difference between entering and leaving the waste collection place. Based on the weight a price was calculated and displayed at the cashier. A proprietary forms control system was deployed which had been developed in the previous project. Business Area: IT Service , Civil Service Skills: Real Time Systems, Fortran, VAX, Development
	1983-02	-	1984-08	IVU GmbH		Developer
	Task: This project dealt with data recording in a frozen foods sales vehicle. On a HP200 systems under Pascal two integrated applications were realized. On the one hand a set of data recorded during the sales tour (e.g. door openings, temperature, travel route, etc.) were logged on cassette tape. These data were transferred to an ITT mainframe using a black box simulating a 3270 data stream. On the other hand a menu system was implemented to allow the sales driver to dynamically assemble the vehicle load and route which later could be displayed in the vehicle.
