Heuristics and Probabilistics have to be used because the points can be very incorrect. The results where visualized with ESRI ArcGIS.

Role: Full Stack Perl Developer, Database Engineer
Platform: Web
Period of Time: July 2003-June 2006
For the company Interserv I fixed and extended quite the whole system left over in a bad status by former programmers. Skills required for this job were a good understanding of a web front- and back-end written in Perl code using PostgreSQL Queries and a template concept. I also worked on the database itself by implementing functions and triggers. As the website is fully DHTML- and
Javascript-driven it was also a big part of my work to fix and change these things. Maintaining the functionality of the site and the database is still needed. I also had to co-maintain the Linux servers with software updates and configuration changes.

For every domain, it’s possible to set parameters influencing the output. The site is using templates (HTML::Template) enabling the client to update the design himself.

Also, being self-organized was very important as I worked a lot from home because the office was in Wiener Neudorf.

This was already a project for several years, and only after I took responsibility the project was finished successfully together with webTeam. I had to gain knowledge in Java Server Pages and Makumba technology as well as internal development utilities. I was also automating the news entry process. The new news engine is a completely database-driven application allowing everyone to submit news which are then reviewed by a group of news editors who check the news, edit it if necessary and approve it. It will then show up on the main page and the original poster will get an email notification that his news item is now visible.
