Network engineering student
Exploring networks, systems & code.
I’m interested in what connects machines to one another — from packets all the way up to code — and I learn by building my own tools.
About
I’m Dorian Luyet — DurianTheWAV online. I study computer science at EPTM in Sion, Switzerland, where I’m specialising in networking.
What I enjoy about networks is knowing what really happens between two machines: how an address is split, which path a packet takes, what lets it through or stops it. Systems are the natural next step: I run Linux every day, on NixOS, because I like a configuration to be written down, versioned and reproducible.
Programming is something I’m teaching myself, out of curiosity. I started with Python, then explored the web with Svelte, embedded development with an ESP32 and Android with Kotlin. Taking a problem I already know and solving it again in a new language is still my favourite way to learn one.
My method is simple: start from a real need, build something that works, then understand why it works. I read the documentation, test, break things, start over — and ask for help when I’m stuck.
Skills
Rated without inflating anything: what I use regularly, what I’ve put to work in a project, and what I’m currently learning.
Addressing, flows and filtering: getting packets where they need to go.

Projects
A featured selection, followed by all my public repositories, kept in sync with GitHub automatically.
FeaturedWebArchived
A web app for electrical calculations around Ohm’s law: voltage, current, resistance, resistivity, cable section, series and parallel resistors.
FeaturedNetworkingArchived
A command-line IPv4 calculator: subnet mask from a CIDR, network and broadcast addresses, host range, address class and subnetting. Binary conversions written by hand; built as a two-person project.
FeaturedNetworkingArchived
A single entry point to several Kyber game-streaming containers. The broker gives each player a free instance, queues the next ones and recycles the container between two sessions.
SystemsArchived
My declarative NixOS configuration: a flake, Home Manager and separate modules for the desktop, fonts and gaming. The whole system lives in one repository.
EmbeddedArchived
Companion Android app for TempMonitor: it scans for the probe over Bluetooth Low Energy, connects to it and shows temperature and humidity live.
EmbeddedArchived
A temperature and humidity probe built to monitor a fridge: an Arduino Nano ESP32 reads two DHT11 sensors and broadcasts the averaged readings over Bluetooth Low Energy.
ToolsArchived
An interactive command-line calculator for Ohm’s law and related formulas. One of my first projects, also shipped as a Windows executable.
ToolsArchived
A small Python library made for fun: roundabout ways to print “Hello World”, inspired by memes and JavaScript’s console.log().

The easiest way is to write to me. I’m always glad to talk networking, systems or code.
