Professional portfolio

Listed here are only my online projects, not other work i did (with one exception).

I did not list projects were I only did some minor work on, like building one or two page templates or do bug fixing for different browsers

Most older projects are not online anymore, or they are changed a lot since I worked on them, therefore I added a screenshot example of the pages at the time I developed them.
In some cases I added a link to archive.org if there is a saved version of the project available, please understand that websites at the Wayback Machine often miss pictures and other content.

RRS42

Juryboard online system

As an international Judge for World Sailing (sailing.org), one of my duties during competitions is to penalize boats while racing for infringing a special propulsion rule (Racing Rule of Sailing 42 - short: RRS42) and list a schedule for hearings.
As there was no standard application for recording and publishing these penalties after the races, I developed a PHP based system in 2011 were the judges can enter the given penalties with a browser and publish the list of penalized boats online.
The system is used for many big events including World Championships and became a near standard for two olympic classes (Laser and Finn) for several years.
The system is free for events to use and some host it on their own servers.
Since around 2020 several Regatta Management systems which also help the organizers with entries, payments and other regatta related tasks also offer jury related options and thus a free but specialized system is not required for most events.
I still host the system on the domain juryboard.org for free and organizers can contact me if the like to use it.

1999 and before

Go-On

Go-On was a online auction and shopping system of the Axel Springer Verlag, Germany's biggest newspaper publisher.
Official start of the system was christmas 1999, my work on it went on into the beginning of 2000.
Due to hard competition in the market and the success of ebay, go-on.de was stopped after few years.
Under contract of USWeb/CKS (later marchFirst).

A complete Re-design was developed in 2000 and took into account Browsers like Netscape 4.7 and Internet Explorer 4.5, therefore it still got a table for the layout, even if a lot of CSS additions since then only worked on modern Browsers.
In 2023 The OKDI Association decided it was time for another relaunch, as most users started to use Mobile devices etc and while the old pages catered for that, the layout and design started to look very dated.
The new Website is based on Wordpress and was developed within a short period. Getting hundreds of pages with content moved to the database took some time however.
