About me
I'm a CS student currently in the fourth year at University of Politehnica Bucharest.
In my free time I like to dabble in server backend programming and system administration.
It is my belief that a decentralized internet is the way to the future. I host my own website, maven repository, file server, email server and 3D printer access gateway.
I also design and manufacture parts for building and upgrading 3D printers as a hobby. I have been part of the
Clockworks robotics team as a mentor for the last 2 years, where I shared my
programming knowledge and learned most of my CAD and 3D printing skills. I am also responsible for maintaining our
digital infrastructure, including website, authentication portal and Minecraft server.
Technologies I use
GNU/Linux
Bash & Python scripting
Caddy
Nginx
Git
Java
Maven
Javalin
Hibernate
SpigotMC
Klipper3D
SuperSlicer
Fusion 360
KiCAD
About Lucaci Research
I'm often working on projects related to robotics and automation. I do these in my free time and often are tailored to some specific needs. Lucaci Research is currently bringing all these projects under a common umbrella.
My Projects
SimpleCommandExecutor
SimpleCommandExecutor is a simple Spigot library API for declaring commands using a fluid builder pattern. It's best suited for commands with advanced functionality.
This project is licensed under GLPv3. Sources are available on GitLab and build artifacts in my maven repository.
NoPipes
NoPipes is a Spigot plugin meant to address the need for compact storage sorting systems in vanilla Minecraft. It implements a performant transportation and storage infrastructure that is easy to understand for players.
This project is licensed under GLPv3. Sources are available on GitLab. A tutorial is available on my blog post.
ZipUnpacker
ZipUnpacker is a tiny webhook receiver intended to be used in CD configurations. The main functionality is unpacking CI artifacts in filesystem locations. It can be configured with any number of endpoints and is capable of executing commands before and after an endpoint runs.
This project is licensed under GLPv3. Sources are available on GitLab.
UrlShortener
As the name implies, this project is an url shortener inspired by similar services (Bitly, TinyUrl). It's built around the concept of privacy, therefore it does not keep logs of access dates and IP's. There are not ads served or intermediate pages.
This project is licensed under AGLPv3. Sources are available on GitLab and are deployed at u.clocc.xyz
Clockworks Wiki
The Wiki is used by the Clockworks robotics team to record documentation and team activity log in an organized manner. The project has two components: a static site generator (Jekyll with MinuteUnpacker) and an activity log generator.
Activity log is generated by a Discord Bot integration. Messages in a specific logging channel are recoded and formatted in wiki pages. Metadata (date, title) are automatically added.
The Discord integration component is licensed under AGLPv3. Sources are available on GitLab. The wiki is available online at wiki.clockworks.ro.
HECATE
HECATE is an incident reporting system designed to handle distribution of intervention resources in cases where severity does not warrant emergenency calls. Volunteers and incidents are bridged between NGO's and associations.
This project is currently closed-source. If you are interested, please contact me by email.
