Project History
My Architas Mobile Application
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=be.architas.portalA multilingual cross-platform mobile application using Xamarin.Forms for portfolio management. Clients can register their mobile and tablet devices in a highly secure manner using specifying asymmetric cryptographic keys. These keys are later used for end-to-end encryption of sensitive data.
CMCM Mobile Application
A multilingual cross-platform mobile application used by CMCM insurance clients to receive the latest news and submit their reimbursement claims. Using the application, they can create a reimbursement claim in different categories and attach files or images alongside any additional comments. Affiliates can track the progress of their requests and stay in contact with back-office agents through the comment section in case their claims need to be patched with additional information.
PICK'R
A gamified telematics application that drivers use to record their trips. The application gathers real-time GPS data and other sensor readings from mobile. Then, the data is wrapped and unified as trip information and sent to the server for profiling and analysis. Drivers receive a score based on their driving behavior, concluded based on sensor readings. These scores are represented through badges, competitions, and leaderboards with the goal of enhancing driving behavior.
Good Drive
A cross-platform mobile application developed for Baloise Luxembourg insurance company. The app uses sensory data to collect telematics information and send it to the server for further analysis. Drivers are then profiled and scored based on their driving behavior. These scores are used to offer better car insurance premiums to good drivers.
I-GEAR
A comprehensive research project at the University of Luxembourg. I was in charge of developing several mobile applications and server back ends for study data collection and analysis. My work included several mobile applications such as LeaveNow, Commutastic, and Driver Diary. These applications aimed to change drivers' behavior through different incentives with the ultimate goal of reducing traffic jams in Luxembourg.
