Simon Ringeisen

I am a Software Engineer and Product Owner who takes ownership of complex work from idea to delivery. Team player at heart, collaborating closely with product, design, and engineering to build things that work.

At BLP Digital, I’m part of the Invoices product development team and work on automating invoice processing within ERP workflows. Turning manual execution into agentic workflows. I combine hands-on development with product ownership, shaping direction, refining the backlog, and shipping features end to end with the team.

Previously, I was part at Ergon as part of the Airlock IAM product development team.

I received my Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Computer Science from ETH Zürich in 2017 and 2021 respectively.

Projects

Terrain Generator (2021)

Typescript / Web-GL application for simple terrain generation.

This is a side project based on TypeScript, where I implemented a simple terrain generator using Web-GL, lit-elements and esri calcite components.

Learned Foot Placement (2020/2021)

Master Thesis done at DisneyResearch|Studios

Developing and analysing a learned method to generate locomotion that is constrained by foot placements. For this project, Unity has been used for data generation and visualization. Python has been used for the implementation of the learning methods and the performance analysis.

Parameterized Animation Editing of Locomotion (2020)

Semester Project done at DisneyResearch|Studios.

Developing an artist focused UI to parameterize animations and analysing it for locomotion. This project has been implemented in Unity using C#.

Balanced Inverse Kinematics (2020)

Computational Models of Motion for Character Animation and Robotics class project

Inverse Kinematics (IK) is often used in games and other scenarios to give a character the ability to interact with the scene. This can however lead to unnatural postures, especially when gravity is ignored. In this project, I explored how a notion of balance can be applied to IK.

Computer Graphics Class Project (2019)

Final project for the Computer Graphics class

During the Computer Graphics class the students implement parts of a physics-based renderer called Nori. In the final project additional components are implemented with the goal of generating an image for the rendering competition.

Real-time Animation with a Seaboard (2017)

Bachelorthesis at the Interactive Geometry Lab at ETH Zürich

The Roli Seaboard is a musical instrument with multi-dimensional input possibilities. In this project it is used to control a 2D character in Unity, using a C++ extension to interpret the MIDI-MPE data.

This project was presented as a poster at ADC and used by the computer science department to advertise at the “Studieninformationstage”.

Development of Android Applications for disabled people (2012/2013)

Matura Assignment at Kollegium Spiritus Sanctus Brig

As the matura assignment I developed android applications for disabled people. I analyzed the accuracy of touch screen interactions by creating mini-games and developed a diary which was inspired by the learnings. The work was awarded best assignment in sciences by NfGO. With the price-money and some sponsor support a couple of tablets were distributed at a local workshop for disabled.
