Building Self-Hosted AI, Secure Networks, and Modern Infrastructure
These interfaces provide secure access to my self-hosted AI infrastructure. Access is protected by Cloudflare Zero Trust and WireGuard VPN, so screenshots are provided to demonstrate functionality and user experience.
Self-hosted AI platform running local Ollama models with Tavily-powered web search, Cloudflare Zero Trust protection, and secure WireGuard remote access.
Open WebUI serves as the primary interface for interacting with locally hosted large language models. The platform supports web search, document analysis, model management, and secure remote access while maintaining full ownership of infrastructure and data.
Alternative AI frontend deployed alongside Open WebUI to evaluate different user experiences, workflows, and AI interaction models.
Odysseus provides a different approach to AI interaction while leveraging the same backend infrastructure. Running multiple frontends against the same AI stack allows testing of usability, features, and deployment strategies for different use cases.
These interfaces are powered by a self-hosted AI environment built for experimentation, learning, secure remote access, and modern infrastructure management.
Hosted on self-managed Raspberry Pi infrastructure with Docker, Cloudflare Tunnel, Zero Trust authentication, WireGuard VPN, and GPU-accelerated AI inference.
8+ years of experience in SMT, injection/rotational molding, and CNC manufacturing. Skilled in troubleshooting, process improvement, and continuous improvement initiatives.
CCNA and Security+ certified with hands-on experience in networking, secure remote access, and Zero Trust technologies.
Building self-hosted AI platforms using Raspberry Pi, Docker, Ollama, Open WebUI, and GPU-accelerated inference with Cloudflare-secured remote access.
Industry certifications backed by practical experience through homelab, networking, Linux, and AI infrastructure projects.
My manufacturing background developed strong troubleshooting, process improvement, and systems-thinking skills that now translate directly into networking, Linux administration, automation, and AI infrastructure projects.
Surface Mount Assembly
Computer Networking Technology
Coursework in networking, routing, switching, operating systems, and infrastructure technologies provided a strong technical foundation that was later reinforced through professional certifications and hands-on homelab projects.
