Hey, I am Justus, 26 years old and from Hamburg. I love working on operational research and machine learning challenges. Passionate about all things computer science - always exploring and building! Feel free to drop me a message :)
Personal Portfolio Website
Who wouldn't be interested in what I do!?
2025
I always wanted to build my own portfolio website, mainly to have a public domain for making my HomeAssistant instance available online.
Turns out I couldn't use a subdomain and had to buy a second website. Nevertheless, I enjoyed this project — built with Svelte, AI, and passion.
