Enhancement and Stabilization of Production-Critical Applications for the Airbus Kit Factory

CEVA Logistics · Aviation Sector | Client: Airbus

Initial situation

Production-critical applications and dashboards supported daily production and logistics work at the Airbus Kit Factory by providing tasks, priorities, deadlines, and operational performance data.

The application landscape combined SAP-based data extraction with C#/.NET processing, database storage, and dashboard presentation. Changes in source data and operational requirements required reliable, timely adjustments.

Solution

Continuous enhancement and stabilization of the C#/.NET application and dashboard environment, with a focus on reliable data processing, monitoring, traceability, and continuity of operations.

My contribution

• Maintained, stabilized, and enhanced production-critical C#/.NET applications and dashboards used by production and logistics teams.
• Developed and troubleshot SAP-based data extraction and processing of operational delivery and performance data.
• Investigated issues across application processing, data storage, and dashboard presentation.
• Improved application and file-processing logic to reduce delays, prevent access conflicts, and increase reliability.
• Strengthened monitoring and traceability through Hangfire background processing and Serilog-based structured logging.
• Maintained the SQLite data layer and supported JSON-based visualization with Vue.js.
• Documented application dependencies and collaborated with operational teams and Airbus contacts on changes, troubleshooting, and production support.

Excel Decommissioning and Redevelopment of the Ready-for-Kitting Application

CEVA Logistics · Aviation Sector | Client: Airbus

Initial situation

Several production processes at the Airbus Kit Factory relied on an Excel-based process layer connected to SAP and existing operational applications. Its planned decommissioning required careful analysis of dependencies, business logic, and operational requirements.

Working with the team, I helped define the migration approach. Ready for Kitting was identified as a production-critical function that required redevelopment to preserve continuity of operations.

Solution

Analysis and migration planning for Excel-dependent processes, followed by end-to-end redevelopment of Ready for Kitting as a maintainable C#/.NET desktop application.

My contribution

• Analyzed legacy applications, Excel-based workflows, scripts, SAP integration, and technical dependencies.
• Collaborated with the team on migration planning and documented existing calculation rules and process dependencies.
• Reconstructed the Ready-for-Kitting workflow, preserving essential business logic, process accuracy, and familiar user interactions.
• Designed and implemented the replacement application end to end, including SAP GUI automation and generation of production-relevant component lists.
• Developed an integrated HTML/CSS display, integrated a dedicated printing library, and implemented PDF generation.
• Implemented validation, configurable settings, centralized logging, operational history, and installer-based deployment.
• Improved usability while maintaining continuity for existing users and production processes.
• Coordinated reviews and UAT with Airbus contacts and operational teams, and supported on-site troubleshooting and the production rollout.

Redevelopment and Modernization of the PressePlus E-Commerce Portal

Developed at Skill Networks for PressePlus, Hamburg

Initial situation

An existing JavaScript-based portal for selling and managing magazine subscriptions was analyzed and gradually migrated into a structured ASP.NET MVC application. Its business functionality was reconstructed from the existing object-oriented JavaScript code and reimplemented within a modern full-stack architecture.

My contribution

• Analyzed the object-oriented JavaScript legacy code, reconstructed its business logic, and migrated functionality into a structured ASP.NET MVC architecture.
• Delivered full-stack functionality with C#, Razor, JavaScript, Entity Framework, and SQL Server.
• Integrated two SQL Server databases and an Azure web service, and implemented session management and dependency injection.
• Integrated a payment-provider API for PayPal, credit cards, and bank payment methods and coordinated technical troubleshooting with the provider.
• Implemented responsive, search-engine-friendly interfaces and continuously enhanced the portal through project completion.
• Provided technical guidance to a junior developer and coordinated shared development tasks.
