These days I’m in full-time employment in Munich Germany, and no longer looking for freelance work.

Freelance Developer at Publit Sweden AB

Hannes Eder, CTO of Publit, needed help with improving their book digitisation efforts, both in the quality of the conversions themselves, as well as any after market updates, such as updating metadata, adding publisher specific content, and including watermarks.

The first challenge was to formalise their production guidelines so that all book conversions achieved the high standards required by Publit’s customers. Once these procedures were in place we set about creating a suite of backend tools so that metadata changes made in their web application would be reflected in the EPUB ebook files, as well as inserting additional HTML/image content such as watermarking. These, and other features, were so successful that they have now become a core part of the service Publit provides.
