I created an infrastructure for my home lab, using Ansible and Docker to create a new service as fast as possible and integrate it into my lab. With this project, I put together all the open-source applications I use daily.

Open Infra is a web application written for my master's degree and used by system administrators to automate their tasks, independent of the operating system.

System administrators can manage users and services and, most importantly, harden the operating system. The project is made from a web app using Node.js for the back end and Angular for the front end.

The user has to write the IP of a server, and after, he will be presented with a list of questions that are dynamically generated in the UI based on the remote machine operating system. The questions were grouped based on categories (user, application, kernel, networking, etc.)

Created a GUI app with Python to easily download YouTube videos. The app was written using Python's Tkinter library to create a simple yet intuitive GUI.

The app has a textbox where you set the link to your desired YouTube video. It can only save the audio part of the video.

For my bachelor's degree final project, I developed multiple applications which communicated wirelessly using the esp32 module. The app's main purpose was to collect data from sensors and send actions to the devices.

I used ThingML, a modeling language independent of the programming language, to achieve this. For it to be independent, I had to implement the basic functions in a particular language. For example, if I had a temperature sensor, I had to write the interface between the sensor and ThingML.

I created interfaces for sensors, motors, and lights. Using ThingML, I programmed the microcontrollers with ease.

To manage the devices, I developed a web app that read the data from the sensors and displayed it live on a dashboard. You can send inputs to the devices from the dashboard, like opening a lead or sending a signal to a stepper motor.

Created a REST API in Python using the FastAPI framework. The purpose of the project was for a user to be able to create a quiz and solve quizzes created by others.

The API was secured using identity and access management features.
