Overview

Durasi.de is a personal hobby project that I manage in my spare time. The project has recently undergone a significant transformation, focusing on a complete redesign of the website and the adoption of cutting-edge technologies to enhance its functionality.

Key Milestones

1. Redesigned User Interface

The initial phase involved a thorough overhaul of the website's user interface. The outdated design was replaced with a modern, user-friendly layout, resulting in a more engaging and visually appealing user experience.

2. Technology Stack Upgrade

To align with industry best practices and improve performance, the technology stack was upgraded. The transition from React.js to Angular has led to significant enhancements in efficiency, responsiveness, and overall user satisfaction.

3. Ongoing Development

The project is continuously evolving to meet the dynamic demands of modern web development. A key upcoming milestone involves containerizing the website, which will facilitate seamless deployment and management. This will be achieved through the implementation of Kubernetes, a powerful container orchestration system.

4. Cloud Integration

In line with contemporary trends, the next development phase will involve migrating the website to the cloud. Leveraging cloud services will not only optimize performance but also ensure scalability and accessibility. Kubernetes will play a crucial role in orchestrating these cloud-based deployments.

KanbanBO | A client-server project management tool for Kanban

For my Bachelor's thesis, I developed a Kanban tool software designed to be used in the Project Management course at Hochschule Bochum.

KanbanBO | A client-server project management tool for Kanban

The purpose of this project is to develop a client-server based project management tool for the "Project Management" course at Hochschule Bochum. This tool aims to support instructors in their teaching efforts and will be integrated into KBUnit.

During my Bachelor's degree program, I developed a project management tool as part of my final thesis. The tool was written in Java and featured a modern, user-friendly frontend developed using JavaFX.

To ensure seamless communication between the frontend and backend, I utilized RESTful Web Services, and chose Apache Tomcat as the web server for hosting the tool. All data was stored on a MySQL server, ensuring secure and efficient data management.

To further streamline the development and deployment process, I implemented Docker containers for both Apache Tomcat and the MySQL server. This approach reduced deployment times and ensured consistency across different environments.

Custom Website for AM Bausanierung GbR

The projects involves the development auf a business website for AM Bausanierung GbR from Gelsenkirchen, a well-astablished business, in the construction industry.

Custom Website for AM Bausanierung GbR

AM Bausanierung GbR, based in Gelsenkirchen, is a well-established entity in the construction industry, specializing in renovation and restoration services across Germany. To enhance their digital footprint and attract more clients online, AM Bausanierung GbR enlisted our help to develop a professional business website. The result was a single-page website created using WordPress and Elementor that effectively showcases their services, portfolio, and contact information in an organized and user-friendly format.

Design and Development
After extensive discussions and iterations of feedback, we crafted a modern and clean design concept that aligns with the business's brand identity. Utilizing WordPress and Elementor, popular tools in web development, we constructed a single-page website that efficiently presents the client’s services, portfolio, and contact details.

Features and Functionality
The single-page layout enhances user navigation across different sections effortlessly, without the need to browse multiple pages. A fixed navigation menu at the top ensures easy accessibility to any section of the website. Additionally, the website is designed to be responsive, making it compatible and viewable on various devices including desktops, tablets, and smartphones.

Automatic classification of bulges using self-organizing maps

This project is being conducted as part of the "Softwarepraktikum" course at Hochschule Bochum. Our goal is to develop software that can automatically classify galaxy bulges based on their shapes using self-organizing maps. Under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Rainer Lütticke, we aim to create a tool that provides objective and automatic classification of galaxy bulges, a task currently performed manually by only a few experts. The tool is designed to be user-friendly, enabling even non-experts to perform bulge classifications with the aid of a manual.

The ongoing software development project builds on the Bachelor's thesis of Baris Özcan, a former student and current research assistant who completed his PhD in Computer Science at RWTH Aachen in 2022. To fully grasp the project's requirements, our team delved deeply into his thesis.

Although Baris Özcan had previously developed a software application, it utilized outdated technology and needed to be completely rewritten. Our team decided to use Python for the artificial intelligence component and JavaFX for the user interface to ensure modernity and effectiveness.

The project culminated in a resounding success, delivering a fully functional software application that met the majority of the initial requirements. The artificial intelligence part was developed in Python, while JavaFX was used to craft a visually appealing and intuitive user interface, providing an exceptional user experience.

For a visual overview of the project, here is the poster.

Work Manager | An in-house project at Hochschule Bochum

Together with Linta Amirthasingam, Alexander Kokoreff, Bünyamin Akkoc, Denny Falls Rodriguez and myself, we've developed a website that makes management and organization within companies easier.

One of the main challenges we tackled was the lack of consistent communication regarding data exchange within companies. This, coupled with the insufficient ability to promptly access essential documents, often led to document loss due to the absence of centralized data storage.

To address these issues, we implemented a centralized document storage system that provides an informative overview and comprehensive management of documents without the need for prior appointment. Additionally, we integrated a user-friendly interface that simplifies data exchange.

My first programming project!

I have developed a simple calculator using Java and JavaFX, marking the first practical application of the knowledge I acquired during my studies.

My first programing project!

For my first programming project, I programmed a simple calculator with JavaFX. This project allowed me to apply the knowledge I gained in my studies to real-world applications.

Additionally, I wrote a comprehensive documentation for this project which can be found on Github. The documentation covers everything from the initial concept and design to the final implementation and testing.

By using JavaFX, I was able to create a user-friendly and visually appealing calculator that can perform basic arithmetic operations. The calculator includes a clear display for input and output, and it is easy to use for both novice and experienced users.

Here is the code!
