Teaching
At the Blekinge Institute of Technology, I was involved in the following courses.
- Requirements Engineering as a teaching assistant, helping in the development, conduction, and evaluation of exercises and exam
- Basic System Verification as a teaching assistant, developing, conducting, and evaluating exercises and exams
- Thesis Supervision Courses as a reviewer (on Bachelor and Master level) and supervisor (on Bachelor level)
In scope of my activities as a teacher, I produced several resources that may be interesting to reuse, including:
- Guest lecture on requirements engineering (
bth-dipt-teaching/req-eng-fundamentals
): a concise summary of requirements engineering for software engineering students
- Case systems for software testing (
JulianFrattini/bsv-chef
): a dedicated software system with seeded defects to teach the fundamentals of basic system verification
Industrial Projects
- Static code analysis tool substitution: Comparative analysis of alternative static code analysis tools and compliance assessment with the Knorr Bremse development environment
- Support of VDA4987 integration: Integration of new UN/EDIFACT standard for electronic data interchange at SMP
- Windows Client Manager: Development of a WinSlaveManager tool utilized in continuous integration
- CRC Plugin: Development of a Jenkins plugin visualizing cyclic redundancy checksums over project boards to highlight changes
- Requirements Process Revision: Revision of the requirements engineering process via the introduction of use case templates
