## Selected project

- [Monumental Hair & Lashes by Dari](https://monumental-dari.de/): Live salon website rebuilt by Alen Širbegović in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript after discarded early prototypes.
- B0B ESP32 robot: completed first-semester team project from winter 2023/24. The remotely controlled robot transports a ball and stops at a black line. Alen's documented contribution, completed with one team member, covered wiring, soldering, GPIO mapping, initial programming, testing, and debugging.
- PostgreSQL database lab series: completed third-semester project in a team of two during winter semester 2024/25. Three lab modules covered relational modelling and CSV import, a C++ command-line client using libpq and transactions, and server-side warehouse rules using PL/pgSQL triggers, views, a stored procedure, and an audit history. Individual implementation ownership is not claimed.
- Erbsensuppe care information system: completed fourth-semester software engineering team project from April to June 2025. The prototype combines requirements analysis, UML, a PHP REST backend, PostgreSQL, role-based access, patient and vital-sign management, and automatic alerts for critical values. Individual code ownership is not claimed.
- Smart Security home monitoring: completed private infrastructure project combining indoor and outdoor IP cameras, intrusion sensors, an alarm system, NAS recording, Raspberry Pi device monitoring, and geofencing for vehicles and smartphones. A future Code Lab project will pair a reviewed presence-detection script with a complete README covering setup, example configuration, testing, and limitations. Public content intentionally omits camera placement, internal addresses, device names, and credentials.
- HomeLab & Network Infrastructure: build preparation with the fibre entry into the basement completed as the first of six documented stages; connection activation, rack planning, component selection, assembly, and operation remain planned.
