Michael is a 20+ year veteran, a full-stack developer who loves building web and mobile applications. He started on the mainframe with old languages such as PL/1 and COBOL in banking IT and began programming as a teenager on a C64 with BASIC. He has completed software migrations delivered to eCommerce, CMS, and SaaS. His roles include owner, co-founder, CTO, and IT consultant. While he has not seen it all, Michael would say he has "seen a lot" and brings that depth of expertise to his jobs.

Experience

Website for a Tourism Region

http://www.wildkogel-arena.at

Based on ProcessWire CMS, this multi-domain web project has the website of the Austrian tourism region "Wildkogel-Arena." The website's content elements can be switched on and off according to the season, such as summer versus winter. The project includes additional mini-sites such as a widget system (which allows partners to have Wildkogel-Arena info in their sites as widgets).

Small SaaS for Guest Check-in During COVID

http://www.gaestekartei.at

A small SaaS built on ProcessWire CMS in less than two weeks when the COVID-19 rules in Austria required restaurants and other businesses to track (register) all their guests. The business could register and create QR codes for all their tables (or rooms or similar) and allow guests to check in with their own mobile phones.

Mobile Run Tracking App for Austrian Charity

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=at.herzlauf.herzlauf&gl=AT

This app was built on Native Script with a PHP back end for Austrian charity, Herzkinder. Herzkinder has a series of runs across Austria, and the app allows you to part take with your phone from any location. It tracks the run and creates a time, distance, and route map.
