I build production infrastructure
that costs almost nothing.
This platform runs 38 modules, 170+ APIs, and a full email system — all for $5/month on Cloudflare's free tier. What I built for myself, I can build for you. Or teach you how.
The Project
16 years of infrastructure in one open-source platform.
One Interface, Everything
38 modules managing infrastructure from Layer 1 (networking) to Layer 7 (applications). All open source, all documented, all running right now.
$5/Month Infrastructure
The same capabilities that cost $40K/year on cloud — running on Cloudflare free tier + self-hosted compute. Real numbers, real savings.
AI-Native Operations
OpenClaw AI gateway with 12 skills, multi-model routing, self-healing infrastructure, and RAG across 294K+ knowledge chunks.
Fork It, Build On It
Every module is extractable. Every API is documented. Every decision is explained. Take what you need.
The Engineer
One engineer. 13 systems. 2 physical sites. No excuses.
Full-Stack Infrastructure
13 systems, 2 physical sites, multi-site Tailscale mesh, Proxmox clusters, custom OS tooling. Designed, built, and maintained solo.
Cost-First Engineering
Cost is a first-class architectural constraint, not an afterthought. I don't just "make it work" — I make it work for $36/month.
Deep Linux & DevOps
Gentoo from scratch. Custom package manager (apkg). Proxmox clusters. Tailscale mesh. Ansible automation. Infrastructure as Code.
AI & Automation
RAG pipelines across 294K+ chunks. Multi-model AI gateway with free-tier failover. Knowledge graph integration. Automated content systems.
Learn & Contribute
No gatekeeping. Just engineering.
Real Build Logs
Every system is documented. Every decision explained. Every mistake shared. Not tutorials — war stories from production.
Interactive Playgrounds
15 live labs: cost calculator, security testing, glass UI generator, terminal challenges, and more. Try real infrastructure in your browser.
Open Source Modules
9 published packages. Modular architecture with a 13-file template. Fork the modules, build your own, contribute back.
Community
Join the community of engineers building self-hosted infrastructure. Share your builds, get help, ship something cool.
Why This Is Different
Most consultants have a slide deck. I have a live production platform you can poke at right now.
The Proof Is Live
This isn't a portfolio with screenshots. You're standing on the infrastructure. Every dashboard, every API, every page runs on the same stack I'd build for you.
See the architecture →Cost As Architecture
I don't optimize your bill after the fact. I design around cost constraints from day one. The result: a platform worth $40K/year that runs for $432.
See the numbers →Build In Public
Blog posts, journal entries, live status dashboards. I document the work because transparency builds trust. And because debugging at 2 AM makes for good stories.
