The development of software should always consider the wishes and needs of customers as well as users. This requires a conscious use of functioning and also clean, structured code to boost the usability and scalability of software and games.
In the past I have worked in the advertisment sector for clients like Coca-Cola, Panasonic, Deutsche Post, Jung van Matt, Converse and many more.
In my daily business I plan and develop social games, what is great to gain new experiences and work in real agile workflows.
The shown projects should give an impression in my past work and daily challenges. If you are interested in my open source work, please have a look at my github account or the list of coding related posts.

- Technology: ActionScript 3, Adobe AIR, TCL, ANT, Java, XML
- My part: Planning, management, realization and documentation of the whole project
Kalypso is an interpreter system for ActionScript 3. With the script-based programming language ACL, which leans on Tcl, can be programmed on the base of ActionScript. Moreover the use of native ActionScript objects in Acl is possible.
The results of my diploma thesis were, besides the interpreter, theoretical use cases as well as different tools for the software development process with ActionScript 3.
