Hi, I'm Marcus!

I am a software developer with a passion for frontend development, user interfaces and multimedia technology. I love working on human-centered software and creating flawless user experiences.

For the last few years I have mainly developed web apps, interactive exhibits and backend systems for museums and showrooms. Here you can see a selection of projects I most recently worked on.

As part of the "Deutsche Romantik Museum" project we created an interactive web experience. The application is based on the same data set as one of the main exhibits in the museum and explores the whereabouts of over 30 protagonists of european romanticism.

I did the implementation back to front using statamic cms, next.js and tailwind. For the interactive map using leaflet.js and a custom set of map tiles served by an self-hosted tile server.

Person interacting with a point of information kiosk
  • at MESO Digital Interiors GmbH
  • 2021
  • role: Application Developer

As part of the project team I implemented a digital guestbook and a POI system for the museums foyer.

Both are react and electron based applications with some special hardware and input devices attached. Being a museum covering the topic of blindness, the digital guestbook has text to speech and voice recording abilities. For the kiosk system in the foyer I did the integration of a photo booth feature as well as a donation system offering both a classic coin slot and contactless payment.

As part of the project team I participated in the implementation of an interconnected show room experience.

All tablets and exhibits are in the same exhibition network and communicate via mqtt with each other and a node-red backend.

  • role: Design and Development

As a musician myself I never found an online metronome that fitted all my needs. So I created one myself.

The metronome is a mobile first PWA created with SvelteKit and the WebAudio API. The app is open source and can be found on my github.
