Max Simon
Cloud Computing student in Luxembourg. I set up infrastructure on real hardware until I understand how it works.
Who's behind this
I'm in my second year of the BTS Cloud Computing at Lycée Guillaume Kroll. Before that, I completed the technical diploma in IT (TIF) there.
Most of what I know I learned by building it myself: my homelab, a Pi cluster, a local AI server and the hosting for LME, which I run with friends.
