During the 2024/25 semester, I completed an internship where I developed the skid-steer kinematics for a wheel-driven robot. I implemented the control software to calculate the required movements using inverse kinematics, enabling the robot to accurately follow a sequence of predefined waypoints. The main program was written in C89 for a 32-bit AVR microcontroller.
Right now I'm learning parallel computing in C and Python using OpenMP and MPI.
In mid-2024, I delved into homelabbing and built my own home server, which functions not only as a NAS but is primarily designed to host a variety of services. I mainly use it to run Jellyfin and Immich. Additionally, I rented a VPS from Hetzner to host Pangolin, a free and open-source reverse proxy, as an alternative to the Cloudflare solution. For domain registration, I use IONOS.
