I'm a software engineer at Laxamentum Technologies. My professional work focuses on backend architecture, data engineering, and infrastructure using C#, TypeScript, and Python.
I am currently exploring the practical applications of open-source LLMs. I am heavily focused on data privacy and "local-first" software development. I don't like sending my data to black-box APIs, so I've been building tools that run locally on my own hardware.
I have been spending a significant amount of time using NanoGPT to build and train custom agents locally. It allows me to experiment with AI workflows while maintaining full control over my data.

I am a chronic data hoarder. I maintain a homelab stack to handle my storage, media, and personal compute needs. My daily driver is Ubuntu, and I avoid SaaS solutions whenever possible in favor of software I can host and control myself.
