Software Optimizing the Web Serving Strategy of Paradesk CMS

Mihai Alexandru M.A. Tudor Title: Optimizing the Web Serving Strategy of Paradesk CMS Description:

During my graduation internship at Internetwerk, I have investigated performance issues affecting websites served through the company’s proprietary CMS called Paradesk CMS. Key challenges included slower loading times caused by HTTP request queuing and sub-optimal dynamic cache serving strategy for web content, which currently does not consistently prioritize serving of fresh content to human users or other high priority crawlers (for example, Googlebot).

The goal of this project was to design and prototype a solution that positively impacts page load performance, while mitigating the negative impact caused by cache on the freshness of the requested web content that users and bots receive.

The designed solution consists of a dynamic caching strategy that generates cached page components early when the system’s state allows for it, without negatively impacting response times and adjusts the acceptable cache age that can be served, depending on system state. This improves the relevancy of the served web content, by having fresher versions in the cache, during times of lower traffic activity, and allows for serving of older cached content during high traffic if server resources become strained. Additionally, page loading times were optimized through static asset bundling techniques, minimizing delays and overcoming the HTTP protocol restrictions.

Software SVG edit in Template Designer

Jason Jason Jonathan Effendi Title: SVG edit in Template Designer Description:

My project is integrating a SVG editor into Template Designer. Template Designer helps users create templates for digital campaigns by combining elements like text, buttons, shapes, images, videos, and animations. However, it currently has some limits. Users can only use limited shapes, and imported SVGs are treated as images, meaning they can’t be edited or customized.

By adding an SVG editor, users will be able to fully edit and customize SVGs. They can reshape them, change colors, adjust sizes, and even create complex shapes like stars or hexagons. This will make Template Designer more powerful and flexible, giving users the tools they need to create unique, eye-catching designs.

This upgrade makes the tool easier to use and more versatile, helping users bring their creative ideas to life while making their templates stand out in digital campaigns.

Hardware Interfacing Rusty EtherCAT Simulator

Menno M.P.H. Slegers Title: Rusty EtherCAT Simulator Description:

During my internship at Sioux Technologies, I developed a simulator that emulates EtherCAT slaves and is written in the Rust programming language. The simulator emulates a configurable number of slave devices of different types, as well as sensors/actuators connected to those devices. The devices emulated on the simulator can be monitored and manipulated with the help of a test-API, which makes the simulator a useful tool for debugging the error handling of the control software application built on top of an EtherCAT master.

The project included various challenges, such as concurrency, real-time computing and for me unknown technologies. When I started the internship, I had no prior experience with Rust and EtherCAT, so this was a great opportunity to get familiar with them.

As part of Vanderlande's Data and Analytics department, I developed a Large Language Model (LLM) that uses UML class diagrams as its knowledge base.
The goal was to enable data analysts to navigate Vanderlande's Data Model, search specific definitions and help them understand complex UML relationships. The chatbot is built on a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) architecture, using the LLAMA model for natural language understanding.
Vanderlande’s Data and Analytics department manages diverse data sources, including financial records, supplier information, and shipping details, serving sectors such as Finance and HR with customized dashboards and reports. The department consists of specialized teams such as Data Governance, Data Modelling, and Data Analytics, which collaboratively deliver data-driven solutions.
The Data Modelling team plays a critical role in this process by creating UML Data Models that illustrate relationships between tables in response to data product requests. Data analysts then use these models to prepare datasets, perform calculations, and generate meaningful insights for stakeholders. The chatbot fits perfectly into this workflow by helping analysts interpret the UML diagrams more easily, saving time, and simplifying the process of preparing data.

User Interaction Tokeny Resource Centre Project

Christian C.B. Stricker Title: Tokeny Resource Centre Project Description:

Tokeny is a leading FinTech company specializing in solutions that enable financial institutions to digitize their assets using tokenization (blockchain technology). Given the complexity of this innovative field, Tokeny provides a resource centre designed to educate those interested in adopting their solutions or learning more about the industry. However, when I started the project, the resource centre was cluttered and difficult to navigate due to limited webpage functionality. This made it challenging for users to find information related to Tokeny’s offerings and the significant benefits they bring to financial institutions.

For my graduation project, I have redesigned and redeveloped Tokeny’s resource centre to align with their reputation as an industry leader. This involved extensive research into Tokeny’s target audience, analysis of user browsing habits, and a deep dive into industry standards. Finished off with extensive testing of my prototypes. The result is a user focused, engaging experience that simplifies access to information and introduces users to the world of Tokeny and tokenization.
