As part of my bachelor's thesis I developed a software solution for improving security of workers in confined spaces. Through connected smart device emergency responders will get live telemetry of endangered workers.

For this work I have been recognized with a promotional prize for the best bachelor's thesis in the field of electrical and information technology by the VDE Düsseldorf.

For the listeners present at the ceremony I have given a brief 10-minute talk of my thesis and showed an interactive demo of the emergency system in action.

HSD Opus - Development of a Confined Spaces Dispatch Software for a Canadian Fire Brigade

🔖 Abstract

This work focuses on designing an application ecosystem for a Canadian fire department. As it is part of the critical infrastructure, safety and code quality is of main concern. The thesis will go over the complete development life cycle, from planning to the actual implementation of a Computer-Aided Dispatch software for confined spaces. It is looked into the Canadian legislation to derive application flows and data structure from it. At the end, the reader will have a thorough understanding of confined spaces and how to come up with a working application infrastructure.
