About me

Hello! My name is Luan. I'm doing my Master's in Information Systems at the University of Cologne.
Since July 2024, I've been working as a student in software engineering at Explicatis GmbH, where I contribute mainly to the frontend of an ERP system while continuously expanding my backend skills in Java and Spring Boot. My goal is to grow into a strong full stack profile.
What I enjoy most is working with a team to turn ideas into real applications and seeing how technology can solve problems directly and help people.
When I'm not at the computer or studying, you'll probably find me at the gym. That's often when the solution to a bug I've been stuck on suddenly clicks.

How I work

Development

Collaboration

I like working with teammates, throwing around ideas, and making sure we bring in different perspectives for the final solution.

Development

Development

I care about writing clean, maintainable code that not only performs well and scales, but also creates a smooth experience for users.

Development

Requirements

Before I start coding, I like to get a clear picture of the goals by asking questions and making sure I understand what's needed. That way I can turn ideas into real steps and build something that actually fits the users' needs.

Data Analytics Project

A team project where we worked with real datasets and explored them using Python. Together, we cleaned, prepared, and analyzed the data with Pandas and NumPy, and created visualizations using Matplotlib. I also helped build an interactive Streamlit dashboard that presents the most important metrics and insights in a clear way.
