Max Simon
Hey, I'm Max — Cloud Computing student at Lycée Guillaume Kroll in Esch-Alzette, finishing my 2nd semester of BTS. I'm passionate about infrastructure: building, breaking, and understanding how systems work from the hardware up. Outside of school I run a homelab where I self-host everything from NAS to AI, and co-build Luxembourg Media Engineering with friends.
About Me
Getting to know the person behind the code
I started with an IT technician diploma, then followed my interest in cloud infrastructure deeper into a BTS Cloud Computing. I learn by building: when something interests me, I set it up on real hardware and figure out how it works. That's how the homelab grew — from a TrueNAS server to a Kubernetes Pi cluster to a fully self-hosted AI stack.
I like to understand how things actually work, not just use them. When something doesn't work as expected, I stay on it until I find out why. Outside of the technical side I'm working on LME with friends, building and hosting real client projects in Luxembourg.
