Linus Gustafsson

Distributed systems and health data.

I am a master's student at TU Berlin, working on scalable software systems and medical informatics. Two years as a student researcher, a few publications, and most of my time spent on the backend side of research prototypes.

What I work with

One at a time, as you scroll

  1. 01/ 10

    Apache Kafka

    Carries the sensor data through the wearable analytics framework. I used Kafka Streams for the stateful processing.

  2. 02/ 10

    Kubernetes

    Runs that platform. The ingestion path scales with the number of connected devices instead of the size of the machine.

  3. 03/ 10

    Helm

    Packages those deployments, so a full environment can be brought up, torn down and reproduced from one chart.

  4. 04/ 10

    Docker

    Most of my research prototypes start out as a compose file and stay containerised from there.

  5. 05/ 10

    pandas

    Cleaning and reshaping measurement data, usually on the way to a plot.

  6. 06/ 10

    DuckDB

    Analytical queries over result files that have grown too large for a dataframe but do not need a server.

  7. 07/ 10

    PostgreSQL

    Relational storage for anything structured enough to deserve a schema.

  8. 08/ 10

    Terraform

    Provisioning infrastructure on AWS and Google Cloud, written down rather than clicked together.

  9. 09/ 10

    Linux

    My daily driver, and I administer the VPS this site is served from.

  10. 10/ 10

    LaTeX

    Every paper I have worked on was written in it.
