The main product at SPEDION and where I spend most of my time. It runs on tablets and phones in truck cabs and covers pretty much a driver's whole day: orders and routes, driving and rest times, messages with dispatch, documents, navigation.

I'm very active in this project: new features, bug fixes, UI work, whatever comes up. One thing I'm really happy I got to do: dark mode. Doesn't sound like much until you picture a driver looking at a bright white screen at 3 a.m. on the Autobahn.

Working on software that runs inside moving trucks changes how you think about releases. You can't just hotfix a truck that's parked somewhere with one bar of signal.
