Markus Muilu

I build machine learning systems and the pipelines that keep them running. At Elo I build production ML pipelines in Azure and Databricks. I finished my bachelor's at Aalto in June 2026 and am now studying for the M.Sc. in Machine Learning, Data Science and Artificial Intelligence there.

Projects

Day's average electricity price6.83 c
Average price the heating paid5.44 c
Cents per kWh, 6 to 26 October, rooms on price control

Building automation bridge

A replacement control system for a house with 24 heating zones, built from scratch after the original control computer failed. A Raspberry Pi running Home Assistant drives the existing Fidelix controller over Modbus RTU and moves the heating into the cheaper hours of the spot price.

  • 24heating zones back under control
  • 20%less per kWh than the day's average price, over the first three weeks
  • 2xmore accurate solar forecast than "same as yesterday"

Training planner

A web app that reads recovery data from Oura and activities from Strava, and has Claude draft the week's training plan through tool calls. In personal use. The code is in a private repository.
