Power Escape! - An Educational Escape Room Game

"Power Escape!" is an educational escape game for two players. Using controller-style tools, players gather info and solve puzzles to escape a school building while learning energy-saving techniques. Background: Kids often use electricity unknowingly, wasting energy. To address this, we created a game for Primeo Energie, exhibited at the Primeo Energie Kosmos Electricity Museum in Münchenstein. Objective: The game informs players about electricity and daily energy use, offering tips for conservation while providing an enjoyable experience. This helps instill an eco-conscious lifestyle. Results: Our product includes a game console that connects to a screen and two controller tools resembling plug strips. Players solve puzzles in two rooms by plugging into the right slots. The game features cutscenes, a timer, and a leaderboard. Future plans include more rooms, puzzles, and language options for added diversity.

Custom Transport Solution for Itabo Project's Generator Casing

Designed a specialized transport solution for an Itabo project generator casing. Originally intended for road transport, we later shifted to rail. The casing required a unique two-point lifting method. This presented a challenge in designing a balanced frame, including the addition of a thick metal plate. I also created a rail arrangement drawing to accommodate the shift in transport method. This project highlighted the need for adaptability and problem-solving in design (General Electric)

Our Collaborative PC Case Design Journey

The design process wasn't without its challenges. One significant hurdle was aligning the motherboard perfectly with the I/O panel and PCI-E slots, complicated by inconsistent I/O panel size information. We resorted to accurate models from Grabcad.com for precise positioning. Another challenge was designing a cover that had to accommodate fan slots and an infinity mirror. We opted to rivet standoffs to the inner sheet and attach captive nuts for precision. To minimize rivet points and achieve clean bends, we decided to craft the bottom, front, and top panels from a single sheet. Despite the time-consuming design process, this project enriched my casemodding experience, sparking an interest in exploring smaller, more compact ITX-PCs for future projects.

Waves of The Undead: Our First Unity Adventure

"Waves of The Undead" is our first Unity game, born from the combined efforts of three friends who ventured into game development with no prior Unity or C# experience. In just 30 hours each, we created an exciting 3D first-person shooter. Your mission is to survive against escalating waves of zombies. As you progress, the zombie hordes become more numerous and dangerous. You have an array of weapons to defend yourself. Despite our lack of experience, we poured our passion and dedication into this project. "Waves of The Undead" is a testament to our commitment to learning and creating. We hope players find it as exciting to play as we did to create.

IP5: Experimental comparison of cloud-native application frameworks

As part of a computer science thesis at the FHNW, I analysed various cloud-native Java frameworks such as Quarkus, Helidon, Micronaut and Spring Boot Native in order to identify the best option for the cloud migration of the health-engine of the-i-engineers AG. By porting a prototype application into these frameworks and subsequent performance tests, I was able to gain valuable insights for future architectural decisions.

Multi-Site ICT Workshop Project

In this specialization project I designed and implemented a hybrid infrastructure combining cloud services with an on-premise environment. The architecture is secure, modular and realistic, including network segmentation, centralized identity management and automated deployments.

Key components:

• Multi-zone network separation (public, internal, administrative)
• WireGuard site-to-site VPN linking cloud and on‑premise
• Central authentication with Authentik
• Layered reverse-proxy for TLS offloading and routing
• Self-hosted services: Nextcloud, Gitea, WordPress
• Infrastructure as Code: Terraform, Ansible; container orchestration via Docker Compose
• Monitoring & security: Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, Wazuh

All configuration files, automation artifacts and deployment code are available in the public repository:

Bachelor Thesis: Fine-grained Resource Access Control System for Linux

Challenge: Existing Linux security mechanisms like AppArmor and SELinux lack precision, require specialized knowledge, and don't provide real-time user interaction for access decisions.

Solution: Developed a user-friendly application that monitors system calls and enables interactive access control. The system intercepts process system calls, notifies users in plain language, and allows them to permit or block actions in real-time.

Key Features:

• Real-time monitoring of critical file and network access
• Interactive user prompts with understandable explanations
• Centralized decision storage for multiple processes
• Translation of technical system calls into user-friendly questions

Results: Survey with developers and sysadmins confirmed the need for accessible security tools. Feedback praised the real-time interaction and dynamic security approach, while noting potential decision fatigue.

Technologies: Python, C, Ptrace, Seccomp, ZeroMQ, Linux Kernel 6.10
