Yes, I work as a software engineer. I have already worked on various projects.
Calculating the current alcohol level was the most difficult aspect. This value cannot be calculated from now into the past, but must be calculated from the past. Then there is the absorption delay, which adds an additional time factor. I spent some time on this task.
My name is Tobias Herrmann and I was born and raised in Switzerland. At the moment, I am almost 30 years old and live in a small town in the north of Switzerland. After an apprenticeship as a computer scientist, I started to study besides my work. I am currently writing my bachelor thesis on fully homomorphic encryption and quantum computing and work in a small company as a full stack developer.
WhatsApp is probably the app I use the most, because this is the communication app that everyone in Switzerland uses. I am also interested in news from science, here Curiosity presents five topics every day. I also like listening to music on the road, where Spotify comes into play.
Maybe six months or so. It was a hobby project that I developed in my spare time. All in all I have invested about 100 hours, but I'm not sure anymore, I've never tracked it.
I actually created the app for myself to check how high my alcohol consumption is. Then I thought, hey...maybe somebody else could use this!
There are already several apps for this purpose. I've tried a few too. But some of them crashed because they were simply badly programmed or have not been updated for some time. Also the UI didn't excite me anywhere: they all seemed rather old-fashioned. I also wanted the function of a absorption delay - which is more accurate - because the drunk alcohol does not immediately end up in the blood.
I plan to add the blood alcohol limit for driving to the app. It should also be possible to adjust the degradation rate of alcohol in different stages (low, normal, high), depending on how good the body's metabolism is. Aside from that, I look at what kind of user feedback is being received and let myself be influenced by it.
If anyone has any problems or ideas, don't hesitate to contact me at [email protected].
