Experience

Paragliding App

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.paracenteraustria.app

This app is based on Xamarin .NET (C#) and used for user administration by a local paragliding school. I developed the app and its features, such as course administration and enrollment, weather checking, and map integration. The back end is implemented within the Google Cloud (Firestore).

Machine Learning Application Analysing Stock Market Trends

This project analyzes stock market trends, mainly implemented in C# .NET with Python elements. I developed the app with a former colleague, focusing primarily on machine learning signal generation (ML .NET) and developing the Web Dashboard (Blazor). The application is hosted on Azure with full Discord integration and uses Microsoft SQL Server for data storage.
