Gregor Godbersen : Expert in Software Engineering

Software Engineering

I have 15+ years of software development experience, from desktop applications to websites. I develop high-performance websites with exceptional UX/UI design and have experience in maintaining software over a multi-year lifecycle.

I can develop, profile, and optimize high-performance code. I have written such code during my Ph.D. in Rust, Java, Python, and Julia, and I have a multi-year experience in them. I have extensive experience in developing and operating complex web applications. My currently preferred stack consists of Java (Dropwizard) for the backend, modern React and Typescript for the front end, and NixOS or containers for DevOps. In the past, I have developed websites using CakePHP and Drupal. I have extensive knowledge in building performant static websites such as this one.

I have in-depth knowledge of Linux and Windows system administration and deployments. I planned, configured, and maintained the Compute Cluster within my Lab at Technical University of Munich.

On using operations research to plan social dinners

Reflecting on five years of planning social dinner events using route optimization, open data, and static website generators.
Rapid Prototyping for ESPhome Graphics

I have developed the toolkit esphome-drawmock to allow for rapid prototyping of user interfaces on a microcontroller display. I use a web development stack using live-reload so that changes in the drawing code are immediately rendered in a browser window.

Mocking an ESP8266 graphics library in JavaScript

To ease the debugging of an ESP8266 graphics library, I have developed some small glue code in JavaScript, which renders the drawing calls onto an HTML Canvas element within the browser.
Automatic document scanning for a paperless office

This project aimed to create a fully automated pipeline running on a RaspberryPi to digitalize incoming mail, documents, and receipts at the push of a button. The code can be found at github.
Matching source code dump to git repository

Development boards often use a patched linux image. To update such a board and build an custom embedded linux distribution using Yocto Project, we needed to know which modifications from stock Linux were made. To this end we present a Rust script.
Rich presentation annotations in javascript

While standard PDF annotations are well supported in PDF clients and browser plugins, they do not allow for rich annotations in a web context. For this project, I explore the possibilities of an online presentation annotator. The basic idea was to allow users to mark sections within each slide and to attach a written note to it..
