My Projects
This page is work in progress. For now it's only an unordered list of the things I can remember. I'll prettify it later :)
- started in 2003 with HTML, PHP, MySQL, was fascinated by Google, tried to build an own search engine (which obviously failed due to performance issues) - started an online community in 2005 called Xairro.com (first PHP, later Django) - helped building Germany's former most successful freehoster Redio.de - found a major security hole on StudiVZ.net (was the largest German social network back then) - found a major security hole on ruf.de (a German travelling agency) - won some robotics-competitions - built a system for my former school to manage the student's working groups (and got them to switch to Linux and helped re-building the school's network) - a tool to extract your WhatsApp chat history from the database taken from an iPhone backup == smaller weekend-projects that I abandoned or didn't become successful == - a PHP-ORM system for a client because I didn't like the existing ones - a Python-based "TweetRank" system that used a PageRank-like algorithm to rate the influence of Twitter-users, but it failed due to the Twitter API restrictions a lack of computing power - a Python-based news-aggregator that used some AI to build a single article out of several ones covering the same subject, but it failed because some news-agencies obviously didn't like it
