EY Knowledge Base - MVP Concept Draft

Concept draft MVP of a Knowledge Base for EY Swiss Tax Service Line that brings a searchable library catalogue, prepared source-based summaries and personal notes into a browser-saved dossier. Users can select and order sources, then prepare PDF or ZIP exports and an email preview. The catalogue contains researched publications with illustrative holdings; this is not (yet) an official EY application.

Focus: knowledge discovery, source transparency and turning research selections into reusable, case-specific dossiers.

Open EY Knowledge Base

EY Knowledge Base MVP concept with catalogue filters, researched publications and an empty personal dossier panel. — Catalogue and dossier view of the independent MVP concept draft.

Barbaro Research Desk

A research workspace for Marco Barbaro’s Venetian genealogical manuscripts. It brings scans, draft readings and person-and-relationship records together, linking interpretation back to source evidence and recording uncertainty.

Focus: archival knowledge organisation, source traceability and the distinction between evidence and interpretation.

Barbaro Research Desk Sources page with a reading-room catalogue, manuscript viewer and evidence desk. — Sources page: reading-room catalogue, manuscript viewer and evidence desk. Saved research view from September 2026.

CH-LEX

A Swiss legal-research project, first developed as a Custom GPT and subsequently explored through a mobile web launcher. The launcher prepares a structured legal briefing for use in ChatGPT.

Focus: structuring specialist knowledge and translating it into a usable research workflow.

CH LEX web launcher greeting Julian, with scales-of-justice branding, a legal-question form and a control to copy the research request into ChatGPT. — Updated web-launcher interface for preparing a legal research question to open in ChatGPT.

IZA e-Gesuchsportal

An interactive mock MVP for an international-cooperation grant process. It translates the workflow into three views for administration, applicants and reviewers, covering application, assessment, recommendation and reporting with synthetic data.

Focus: requirements analysis, process modelling and communication between specialist users and technical implementation.

ASVE Atlas

ASVE Atlas connects catalogue search, archival context and finding aids with research notes and archive-visit planning. Researchers can turn selected entries into question-led research lists, record priorities and next actions, prepare visit packs and document what they actually consulted. The local workspace links these records to Obsidian notes, keeping interpretation connected to its sources.

Focus: information architecture, source traceability and connecting discovery, research planning and archival consultation.

Updated ASVE Atlas interface with Doge. Lettere selected beneath the Lettere series, showing its catalogue hierarchy, timeline and detailed description. — Doge. Lettere (1364–1508), selected beneath the Lettere series in the updated ASVE Atlas presentation interface.

Lager.ai

A mobile-first storage-planning and inventory application that connects item records, dimensions, photographs and tags with floor-plan, elevation and 3D views. Local and collaborative spaces organise the inventory and support structured PDF reports.

Focus: structured information modelling, spatial knowledge organisation and reusable document output.

Three Lager.ai screenshots side by side: the Studio Nord demo space and inventory, the 3D storage layout, and an item editor with a photograph, category and dimensions. — Studio Nord demo: space overview, 3D storage layout and item editor.

ZVV Display

An independent public-transport departure board designed for a small display. It filters timetable information, refreshes departures automatically and retains a cached view when the connection is interrupted.

Focus: information selection, external data integration and a clear interface under device constraints.

Independent departure board showing routes, destinations, stops and departure countdowns. — Departure-board screenshot captured on 9 October 2026. The times shown are a snapshot.

Schattenwirtschaft

A mobile time-recording application with start, pause and stop controls, editable entries and structured PDF and Excel exports. It turns everyday time records into a reusable work journal.

Focus: records management, mobile workflow design and structured document output.

Schattenwirtschaft Timer view in an empty local preview, with start and manual-entry controls. — Timer, Einträge and Export views from an empty local preview. No personal records are shown.

Schattenwirtschaft Einträge view in an empty local preview, showing zero entries and a control to add the first entry. — Timer, Einträge and Export views from an empty local preview. No personal records are shown.
