What I am working on

Fleqtra

A free, open-source, self-hosting alternative to Azure and AWS, designed to give the user full control over their data and management.

Overview

  • Provides a container-based approach to data storage with custom rulesets for each container - full control, no headache!
  • Safety made in Rust
  • Docker native support - deployment was never easier or faster

Bachelor-Thesis

I have not yet chosen my topic! However I am sure it will be an exciting project in either embedded systems or quantum computing!

Topic and Details

  • Come back in the next weeks to learn more!

3D-Printing

Printing useful accessories with my BambuLab-A1 is one of the most fun hobbies I discovered, below are some of the prints I made!

Prints

  • MX Master KeyS keyboard holder - mounted under my desk it helps keep my workspace organized! (Link to MakerWorld soon!)
  • Orb LED-Ring Stand - I was gifted an orb, engraved from the inside, which I wanted to illuminate with a LED Ring. Therefore I printed a holder to show it off!
  • FPGA Storage Box - a little box to transport my FPGA around
