• Modernization of a large-scale Java enterprise application*

The project is modernizing a complex enterprise application that has grown over many years. The existing Spring-based legacy system runs on Java 8, OSGi, and Eclipse RCP and is being gradually migrated to a modern, maintainable architecture with Java 25 and Quarkus.

Marcus works on analysis, architecture, refactoring, and implementation. One focus is on untangling historically grown structures and dependencies and on building a clean, sustainable Java and Quarkus technology stack.

Tools & technologies: Java 8, Java 25, Quarkus, Hibernate ORM with Panache, EclipseLink, OSGi, Eclipse RCP, Maven, JUnit, Mockito, REST, JSON, Git, Eclipse IDE, IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate, Jira, Confluence

Independent, part-time open-source engineering focused on build-time tooling for Next.js, React, MDX, and JavaScript/TypeScript compiler pipelines.

• Built next-slug-splitter to optimize content-driven Next.js applications. It analyzes MDX content at build time, resolves component usage, and generates route-specific handlers so pages avoid sharing the full catch-all component bundle.

• Created supporting plugins and utilities for scoped MDX transformations, nested component dependency resolution, compile-time refinement, safe ESTree evaluation, and object-graph diffing.

• Own architecture, API design, implementation, automated testing, npm publishing, documentation, demos, and performance benchmarking.

Building blocks:

• remark-scoped-mdx: Context-aware AST transformations with nested scope isolation, typed component registries, and prop inference.

• recma-component-resolver: Dependency-graph analysis and selective component forwarding across nested MDX includes.

• recma-static-refiner: Build-time prop extraction, schema validation, derivation, and pruning.

• estree-util-to-static-value and object-graph-delta: Safe static evaluation and deterministic, cycle-safe structural diffing.

Tech Stack:

• Frameworks: TypeScript · Next.js · React · MDX

• Compiler tooling: Unified · Remark · Recma · MDAST · ESTree · ts-morph · esbuild

• Competencies: Static analysis · AST traversal and transformation · dependency graphs · code generation · schema validation · route and bundle splitting

• Tooling: Vitest · tsup · npm · performance benchmarking

• The goal of BIENE is to provide a uniform program for tax collection for all states.

• In tax collection, the aim is to collect the assessed taxes. This includes handling due dates, documenting incoming and outgoing payments, triggering reminders or refunds. Statute of limitations and payment reminders also play an important role. All payment transactions with banks and accounting are mapped in BIENE.

• TANGe is a DFS project to introduce a modern digital tower system that is meant to make airport air traffic handling safer, more efficient, and future-ready. My current task in this project is the development of the Runway SID Assignment Service, which is responsible for assigning departure routes from an airport. SID - Standard Instrument Departure stands for a standardized departure route.
