Profile
I’m from Luxembourg and based in Völklingen. I’m years old. I write Python, work with PostgreSQL, and run my own Linux servers. For my bachelor’s thesis, I took a set of live traffic feeds all the way from collection to a dashboard I could use to explore their history.

Selected work
Prototypisches Dashboard Luxemburger Verkehrsdaten
How I turned Luxembourg’s live traffic feeds into a history I could explore. I built the Python collector, PostgreSQL 17 storage, and Streamlit / Polars dashboard. The evaluation dataset covers 23 July–3 September 2026: 11 feeds, about 2.8 million measurements, and roughly 15 GB including indexes.
Self-hosted homelab
I run two Proxmox nodes: Debian / Docker, Tailscale LXC, and Windows 11 on the primary; Home Assistant OS and a separate Debian / Docker VM for Pi-hole and Uptime Kuma on the second. I also built Homelab Command Center to manage my service catalog.
