A brief background
My passion for science and technologies even started when I was in the childhood. I early started working on my technical skills such as studying programming languages. Moreover, I was also able to collect practical experience while technically implementing and realizing own ideas and visions. After passing A-level and being graduated in applied computer sciences, I finally turned my hobby into career. Besides being a passionate 'digital native', I like doing sports and traveling and discovering the world.

Fortunately, my UPS — a APC Back-UPS ES 550 — provides a data port to collect battery statistics and further data.
Finally, with the help of my Raspberry PI, I can trigger a purposive shutdown of my NAS and other devices before a system crash due to a running out of battery power.

Bank Account checker
Many people know the problem: You have one or even several bank accounting entries and credit card transactions, maybe distributed over multiple bank accounts. How often do you check it? Don't you ask yourself if everything's proper there? Maybe someone debited off too much or someone deposited to less money — or did someone forgot to debit/deposit something at all?
I had such concerns and searched for a flexible solution without sharing my bank data with others.
Nowadays, I receive notifications for new entries that don't match any pre-defined rules (e.g. the monthly rental fee corresponds to a typical rule).
Overall, I can state: Trust is a good thing, but control is always better.
