Technical Projects

Overview

A self-hosted AI assistant running on a server I built at home. The AI uses RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) files as a knowledge base — I gave it the full Proxmox documentation (685 pages) so it can answer infrastructure questions directly from the source material.

The AI is connected to the internet and I integrated it with Telegram — so I can chat with my AI assistant from anywhere just by sending a message in Telegram, making it a proper personal assistant for planning and reminders.

Overview

Preparation and hands-on work toward the Microsoft Azure Administrator Associate (AZ-104) certification. The project focuses on two core areas: deploying and managing Azure compute resources, and administering Azure identities and governance.

Overview

We built a cluster of Raspberry Pi 5 computers linked together to host a load balancer for the Porte Ouverte open day at Lycée Guillaume Kroll. The idea was simple: instead of one device handling all the visitor traffic, multiple Pis share the load — so if one goes down, the others keep running.

Overview

An in-depth study of two major hypervisor platforms — VMware and Proxmox VE — with a focus on High Availability (HA) configurations. The project explores how to keep virtual machines running with minimal downtime in case of node failure.

Conclusion

After working with both platforms, our group concluded that Proxmox is the better choice for our use case. It has a more modern and intuitive interface, is easier to set up and manage, and being fully open-source means no licensing costs. VMware is the industry standard and remains powerful, but for a student or home-lab environment, Proxmox delivers everything you need with less friction.

Overview

A dedicated security course covering real-world threats, how attacks unfold in practice, and how an organization should prepare for and respond to a crisis situation. The course focused on threat awareness — understanding attack vectors and recognizing early warning signs — and on the structured response side: what to do, who decides what, and how to recover and harden systems afterwards.

Overview

As part of the French professional communication module, we prepared for a formal interview simulation with DevoTeam Luxembourg. The preparation included writing a professional French CV and cover letter, and recording a French-language self-introduction video. The exercise built confidence in written and spoken professional French in a real company context.

Conclusion

Mein Französisch steht mir sehr im Weg wenn ich was beschreiben will, ich will deswegen in den Sommerferien mich mehr mit der Sprache beschäftigen sodass ich besser werde.

Overview

A PHP-based web application for managing the school's bicycle program at Lycée Guillaume Kroll, including the spinning bikes used for fitness classes. The system tracks bike availability and gives an overview of the school's bike fleet. Students cannot yet make reservations — the reservation functionality is still in development.

Overview

A modern grade management system designed for professors to efficiently manage and track student grades. Built with Django and PostgreSQL, the system provides a secure, scalable solution with comprehensive administrative features and robust data protection.

Overview

LME is a PROMA project offering professional web development services using Laravel. We provide comprehensive solutions including website creation, hosting, and management services for businesses and organizations. Our focus is on delivering modern, scalable web applications with reliable infrastructure.

Future Vision: Building LME into a real registered company offering professional web development and hosting services to clients across Luxembourg.

Overview

A comprehensive technical presentation covering Solid State Drive (SSD) technology, architecture, and performance characteristics. The presentation explores various aspects of SSD technology including storage technology, performance metrics, and practical applications in modern computing environments.

Overview

Implementation of a Windows Distributed File System (DFS) environment with shared workfolders for enterprise file management. The project demonstrates configuration of DFS Namespace and Replication services integrated with Active Directory for centralized file access and redundancy across multiple servers.

Overview

CarNotes is a comprehensive car management application built with Microsoft PowerApps that enables users to track vehicle maintenance, schedule appointments, and manage service intervals. The system features automated email notifications via Power Automate to remind users of upcoming maintenance tasks and SNCT (technical inspection) appointments.

Future Plans: Expanding the application with additional features including expense tracking, fuel consumption monitoring, service history reports, and multi-vehicle management capabilities to provide a complete automotive management solution.

Overview

A Python-based monitoring tool that analyzes server authentication logs (auth.log) to track connection attempts. The application provides real-time visibility into who is attempting to connect to the server, which user accounts are being targeted, and the originating IP addresses of connection attempts.

Overview

We built and configured a TrueNAS Community server from scratch — including physically assembling the server hardware ourselves. The project covers the full process from hardware assembly and OS installation through storage pool configuration, network shares, and deployment of additional self-hosted software services.

Overview

As part of the TBUCO technical meeting, each student independently researched assigned Azure topics and figured out how they work. The findings were then presented and explained to classmates in a collaborative meeting format, going through each topic hands-on together. Architecture diagrams were created in Lucidchart to visually document the setups.

Overview

This portfolio website serves as a comprehensive showcase of technical skills, projects, and professional experience. Built with modern web technologies, it features a clean, responsive design with dynamic animations and an intuitive user interface.

Future Enhancement: Transform the website from a static hardcoded solution into a dynamic platform powered by a database backend. This would enable content management through an admin panel, allowing projects, skills, and experience to be updated without modifying code directly. The evolution would include a proper CMS architecture with RESTful APIs for easier maintenance and scalability.
