The Token Economics of Local AI
Why every team running sustained AI workloads - from a solo home lab to a 50,000-user enterprise - pays itself back faster by owning the inference layer than by renting it.
Sonic Phoenix: Bringing 7,246 Forgotten Songs Back from the Dead
How my child's request to hear my childhood music turned into a seven-phase pipeline that fingerprinted, sorted, enriched, and synced a 30GB library to Spotify - then handed it to an AI skill for on-demand playlist curation.
AI Codes Like a Genius. Architects Like a Goldfish.
Why zero-shot AI POCs fall apart at scale, and how constrained architectural templates are the only thing standing between a clean codebase and a production time bomb.

technical case studies & lab notes
Neural Home Orchestrator
A localized agentic system for managing home automation and energy efficiency. This experiment integrates local LLMs with Home Assistant to create a truly private, intelligent home controller.
Self-Hosted LLM Lab
Running Llama 3 on a local Raspberry Pi cluster with Ollama and Cloudflare Tunnels. This experiment explores the limits of edge compute for decentralized intelligence.
EV Data Logger
Transitioned from a custom TypeScript listener to a self-hosted TeslaMate fork running on a Raspberry Pi 5. Tracks every drive, charge, and phantom drain on my Model Y with 100% data sovereignty.
