Homelab (10-2024 → present)
Repo: https://github.com/vlanx/homelab
My journey as I interact and dive deeper through tech stacks that I find interesting and that I think will have a big carry over to my career goals. I go over infrastructure management and automation, observalibity and monitoring stack, orchestration and virtualization, certificate management and many more stuff.
ETF Knapsack (02-2025 → present)
Repo: https://github.com/vlanx/etf_knapsack
I wanted to calculate all the possibilities/combinations of Buy orders of the ETFs that I buy monthly given my investment budget. I want to keep some ETFs within certain weight ranges and this helps me manage that, since I won’t buy every ETF every month.
Advent of Code - Go (03-2024 → present)
Repo: https://github.com/vlanx/advent_of_code_golang
The meaning of project gets a bit stretched with this one, but it’s basically my attempts at solving the various Advent of Code daily Christmas challenges throughout the years using Go. The purpose of this is to get me more familiar with Go, by trying to approach each daily challenge in a Go idiomatic way, rather than a leaderbord/competition focused way, as is usual with the AoC challenges.
C-Edge CLI (03-2023 → present)
Repo: https://github.com/vlanx/cedge-cli
Command line tool to streamline the most common use-cases of the Aether Runtime Operational Control GUI. This project aims to create a set of more high-level commands using Aether’s API. It’s written in Python and uses Click as the framework for the command line interface.
Aether + UERANSIM (10-2022 → 11-2023)
Repo: https://github.com/vlanx/AiaB-UERANSIM
Thesis project to instantiate, configure, manage and monitor multiple edge sites from a single central site, aggregating all the network operations in a single point. Being a Cloud a Native 5G Core, the network orchestration was done utilizing Kubernetes & Helm, in conjunction with ArgoCD to further streamline and centralize the network deployments. This project leveraged Aether, which is a private 5G network platform, which uses SD-Core for the 5G Core implementation. The RAN, which validated the scenario, was carried out both simulated (via UERANSIM) and with two Huawei P40 smartphones.
Lane Merge Simulator (03-2022 → 06-2022)
Repo: https://github.com/vlanx/Lane_Merge_Simulator
Project meant to illustrate how a fully automized lane merge might be orchestrated between vehicles exchanging ITS-G5 messages, using NAP-Vanetza as the mechanism of delivering messages, Python for the overall simulation and merging algorithm, and Flask for the web page presentation and user interaction.
WiFi Monitor (01-2021 → 07-2021)
Repo: https://github.com/WIFIMonitor/Project
Visualization of space occupation on University of Aveiro campus through an heatmap, with the ability to create a campus-wide timelapse of space utilization throughout the day. The values are derived from the number of devices connected to the network, thus only giving an approximation of the real number of people.
Sokoban Solver (11-2020 → 01-2021)
Repo: https://github.com/vlanx/Sokoban-AI
Sokoban puzzle solver using Python and A* pathfinding algorithm to find the sequence of movements that result in the completion of any given puzzle level.
