Led the development of a large scale web scraping project and data analysis product, bringing the product to market. It automatically analyses websites, derives scores about the websites and allows for human enrichment / control of the resulting data. The product is in use (API integrated in their product offerings) by several well know social networks to, for example notify users about the quality of externally linked web sources (e.g. fake-news warning). Technologies used in the project: Ruby, Ruby on Rails, AWS Lambda, Python, Scrapy, Splash, Node, Docker.
Developed a tool that is used by Geologists to run “Play based” analysis for the prospective development of oil / gas fields (i.e. part of the deciding factor where future exploratory drills be untertaken). The product used to be based on ESRI’s ArcMap application (as an AddIn). With the release of ESRI’s ArcPro and the announcement that ArcMap would not be developer further we decided to future proof the product by migrating it to the new Platform. This was a roughly year long, full time undertaking and was completed within the estimated boundaries. I developed all migratory code, also rewrote the UI while maintaining most of the core business logic and keeping up with the ongoing development of the product. Project was completed and the product is now in use by virtually all Oil & Gas super majors. Technologies used in the project: C#, Python, ArcMap, ArcPro
Player is a tool that is used by Geologists to run “Play based” analysis for the prospective development of oil / gas fields (i.e. part of the deciding factor where future exploratory drills be untertaken). PlayHouse sits on top of this and allows management users to “look into” these projects in order to make decisions about prospective drills. Developed most of the front-end and back-end code. Managed to bridge legacy back-end software to a modern web application; abstracting technical details away, so that the management can make decisions on projects without knowing/understanding all details. Project was completed and the product is now in use by virtually severa; Oil & Gas super majors.
