This is my thesis I wrote together with 2tefan at HTL Mössingerstraße The topic of this thesis was collecting, aggregating, and analyzing vehicle traffic data collected via Cameras and edge computing. Stefan mostly worked on the nodes and its subsystems. If you wanna read about that head to his site
My part was the on premise side of the application. This involved writing a backend and frontend, as well as setting up a database for storing measurements and other data. The backend is based on Spring with Spring Data and Hibernate. For the database TimescaleDB was used since it is both optimized for relational data and timeseries data. Larger statistics like average traffic for several intervals and long time statistic were precalculated and could be fetched like a normal query even when scanning data of multiple month or years. The backend also included both a Web-API and a LoRa endpoints. The LoRa connections were implemented using The Thinks Network and its MQTT bridge. The frontend was written with Vue.JS and consisted of a map that showed all measuring points with popups with some statistics
Other Projects
Here some smaller stuff I do that isn't as big or cool as the ones above
geopark
GEOPARK is what i call my homelab. Currently im trying to build a Kubernetees cluster that extends my old monolith.I am also trying to build a custom server rack fitting onto my old server
website
This website started as a pure HTML/CSS website but I had no idea other than clone my friends site. Then a few month later I rewrote the site to its current look with TailwindCSS and dynamic loading with HTMX and a Go backend. After some time i realised how stupid this was and rewrote it again. Now the website uses Hugo as a SSG and has no backend
retro95-greeter
Retro95 greeter is a Windows 95 design language inspired greeter for greetd. Its fully functional with some minor bugs. Also I might have a bit more fun with lower Linux stuff and implement it with KMS/DRM
YALT
Yet Another Location Tracker is a project once again developed together with Stefan to have an alternative to the own-tracker backend stack with maybe even an alternative android app. Why? Why not!
YASH
Yet Another Secret Hitler was an attempt from me and Stefan to create a mobile version for the game Secret Hitler written in Godot. Which made it cross platform, with one internal version even working on the Switch as a homebrew app. Sadly its currently in a 4 year dev pause.
