Armend Cerhozi

I build backend services, data pipelines and maps with Java, Spring Boot, Python and TypeScript. Most recently: a cycling-safety map that scores every street in Heilbronn from 0 to 100.

Risk score, live SafeLane-style scoring
Hover or tap a street segment to see its score.

A small demo of how SafeLane HN works: move the weights and every segment is re-scored in the browser. The streets and sensor values here are generated, not real Heilbronn data.

SafeLane HN

Cycling safety priority map for Heilbronn
  • Scored Heilbronn street segments from 0 to 100 for cycling risk using senseBox:bike sensor data: close passes, surface roughness and fine dust.
  • Built the Next.js / TypeScript frontend with MapLibre: an interactive map, live weight sliders that re-score segments in the browser, and segment detail cards.
  • Wrote Jest and React Testing Library tests, a score-parity test against the Python pipeline, and a pre-release QA audit covering data contract drift, duplicate geometries and end-to-end checks.

GDPR Sentinel

AI-assisted GDPR data discovery · TechOn 2026 Challenge (Bosch)
  • Built in a team of four: the prototype scans corporate document stores, classifies personal data and suggests retention actions.
  • Designed the routing workflow that sends each finding to the right human reviewer, either the data owner or the Master of Data.

Albanian News Coverage Pipeline

Data engineering and NLP
  • Wrote 8 Scrapy spiders that collect articles from major Albanian outlets, including Top Channel, Klan, RTSH and Euronews Albania.
  • Built a Kedro pipeline (Python, pandas) for cleaning, language filtering with langid, entity alias matching and spaCy NER, producing mention-level and party / source-level coverage metrics.
  • Added rule-based sentiment scoring with negation handling, and a React dashboard that compares coverage across outlets over time.

Apartment Monitor

Checks a Heilbronn student-apartment booking page every ~10 minutes on GitHub Actions. A headless Playwright browser reads the listing, compares it with the last run, and sends a Telegram message when a flat becomes available.
