I was an intern at Deutsche Bahn (the German national railway) during summer 2010 in Frankfurt (M). I worked in the PPX (project Mobility)/Touch&Travel department.
My boss had the title "Innovations Manager NFC." He was responsible for pushing NFC (Near Field Communication; basically RFID in cell phones) forward both inside the Bahn and with partners in Germany.
I worked on two main projects. First, I prototyped the look of the new Smartphone version of Touch&Travel and I developed the adopted strategy for how the user would check in at a point. The look and the methods were scheduled to be adopted in the beta application. Second, I prototyped (mockups) and developed (PHP, MySQL, HTML, JS/AJAX) a concept for pulling data together from different data "silos" within the Bahn to give consumers quick access to data to make their trip easier. (Sorry for the generic language)
I also took part in business meetings between Deutsche Bahn and tech providers as well as potential partners.
Article In Progress
I plan on adding more to this page at some point in time.
