Projects
Things I have made, or am still making.
None of this is a product. These are the things I got curious enough about to actually start building — or, in one case, hosting: a personal finance app, a second brain, a pub quiz I run myself, and about ten years of trying to get people interested in science. Some are live, some are a mess, and the archive is there on purpose.

Right now
some of it shipped, some of it half-built, all of it still going
Open Finance
2024 —Where my money actually is
A webapp for keeping track of my spending, my investments and where my money actually sits — built mostly so I'd stop kidding myself about it. Sign up, or just play around with a made-up portfolio.
Distill
2024 —A second brain that survives contact with paper
Half paper notebook, half app. A place to catch ideas and find them again later, because they never turn up when I'm ready for them. Still very much a building site.
Let'z Quiz
Your friendly neighbourhood quizmaster
I write and host pub quizzes around Luxembourg. The site is the archive of every question I've set, plus where the next quiz nights get announced.
Science communication
a habit I picked up while doing research and never shook off
Scientific Chronicles
2024 —How science actually happened
The people, the dates and the discoveries that shaped science, told as stories rather than as a syllabus. Published on Substack.
Scientific Chronicles: Anniversaries
2024 —What happened in science on this day
A growing archive of scientific anniversaries — the history of science, one day at a time.
Science Slam Luxembourg
2019 — 2022The biggest science communication contest in Luxembourg
Co-organised through LuxDoc, the University of Luxembourg's doctoral students' association. Researchers get a stage, a microphone and no slides to hide behind.
Three Minute Thesis
2019 — 2022A whole doctorate, in 180 seconds
Doctoral students present years of research in three minutes flat, competing for the ultimate prize of academic fame and fortune.
FestaScienze @ UniVR
2016 — 2018End-of-year science festival, University of Verona
Main organiser of the Science Faculty's end-of-year event. Two editions, several hundred visitors, one very tired committee.
Archive
not updated any more, but I don't like deleting things
F1 Analytics
2023 — 2024Formula 1, read through its data
Driver and constructor performance, pulled apart with charts. Training eventually won the argument over maintenance time.
The 52nd Book
2022 — 2023One book a week, reviewed
A blog of notes and reviews on books, authors and genres. Superseded by the writing on this site.
Exact Quantum Dynamics
2019 — 2022From the research years
Fortran code for simulating how small molecules move, exactly rather than approximately.
Non-Adiabatic Dynamics
2019 — 2022Semiclassical methods, benchmarked
A few different methods for simulating molecules when the usual shortcuts stop working, including Tully's fewest-switches surface hopping.
Instagram Bot
2020A small automation, honestly written
A tiny Instagram bot in Python. Exactly as useful, and as short-lived, as it sounds.
Triathlon training dashboard
Swim, bike, run, plotted
Training numbers in one place. Race season quietly retired it, along with a couple of others.
