TPIE - The Templated Portable I/O Environment Nov 2013 - Oct 2015

TPIE is a library for manipulating large datasets on a desktop computer. TPIE provides implementations of several external memory algorithms and data structures as well as a framework for efficient and portable data processing. While working as a student programmer at MADALGO, the majority of my time was spent working on TPIE. Some of my work is described here:

• B-tree implementation in external memory and code for handlings blocks on disk. Based upon existing ab-tree code in internal memory.
• Moving large parts of TPIE code to C++11 making use of C++ move semantics and perfect forwarding.
• Improvements to the pipelining framework by adding functionality to change the order in which pipeline phases are run(flush priorities) and limiting sending of out-of-band data.
• Organizing and writing documentation for TPIE.
• Prototyping improvements on the multiway-merge sorting algorithm implemented in TPIE.

SCALGO SCANJan 2016 - Jul 2016

While at SCALGO, I worked on the product SCAN(SCALGO Combinatorial Anti Noise); a commercial product for cleaning massive sonar point clouds in external memory. My work consisted of reimplementing the code in the TPIE pipelining framework allowing for higher performance and easier maintenance of the codebase.

JudoAssistantAug 2018 - now

In my spare time, I have created JudoAssistant which is a software suite for managing judo tournaments. The software will plan weight categories, manage scoreboards, show online live results, and more. It is implemented primarily in Vue.js and C++ using the Boost and Qt libraries. JudoAssistant is being used at regional competions and the Danish national championships.

GeoDanmark coast polygon Nov 2015 - Dec 2015

At SCALGO, I also wrote large parts of software to compute a closed land polygon of Denmark based on GeoDanmark data.

Dagbogsprogrammet Jul 2013 - Oct 2013

While working as a software developer at DøgnData, I worked on Dagbogsprogrammet. Dagbogsprogrammet brings together all the written work concerning the children/youth at institutions and serves as an internal communications platform.
