Hi, I'm Dieter πŸ‘‹

Geophysicist (M.Sc.) working at the intersection of InSAR time-series analysis, geospatial data science, environmental monitoring and scientific software development.

Continuing my scientific work while bringing my skills into web and software development. My goal is a role where geophysics, data analysis and practical software engineering come together β€” whether in research, a science-related organisation, the software industry, a start-up, or a funded doctoral researcher position.

Particularly interested in satellite-based infrastructure monitoring, Sentinel-1/InSAR time series, geospatial data workflows and environmental data visualisation β€” and in using data and software to support more sustainable decisions about how human activity interacts with the Earth's surface.

πŸ”§ Tech Stack

Web Development

HTML CSS TailwindCSS Leaflet JavaScript TypeScript React Node.js

Data & Backend

Python PostgreSQL MySQL REST API Pandas NumPy Matplotlib

Geospatial & Remote Sensing

QGIS PostGIS Leaflet InSAR Sentinel--1

Tools

Git GitHub Linux NPM

πŸš€ Current Focus

  • Building geospatial web applications and interactive environmental dashboards
  • Developing reproducible data workflows for InSAR, remote sensing and time-series analysis
  • Prototyping satellite-based infrastructure and ground-motion monitoring concepts
  • Connecting scientific data processing with modern web interfaces β€” Python to TypeScript
  • Strengthening frontend fundamentals (clean architecture, UI/UX, performance, React)

πŸ“Œ Featured Project

Hydrological Data Dashboard

A data-driven web application for exploring real-time water level data from German gauge stations.

  • Integration of external REST APIs (WSV Pegelonline)
  • Interactive map-based visualization (Leaflet)
  • Dynamic station-based data exploration
  • Built with vanilla JavaScript to fully understand core concepts

πŸ‘‰ See repository below (pegeldaten)

πŸ€– Workflow

  • AI-assisted development (coding, debugging, data processing, prototyping)
  • Focus on understanding and refining generated code
  • Combining domain knowledge with modern development tools

🌍 Background

  • M.Sc. Geophysics β€” InSAR, time-series analysis, geospatial data science
  • Scientific software development β€” Python, data workflows, reproducible analysis
  • Web development β€” TypeScript, React, Leaflet, REST APIs
  • Based in Kiel, Germany
