From Side Project to Product
How a homelab project turned into an auto-data lake for AI agent memory, and what it looks like to build infrastructure that might become a company.
Building autonomous AI infrastructure on consumer hardware.

Zero dollars per month on AI API calls. Local-first isn't a limitation — it's an architecture decision with real technical advantages.
Whisper STT, GLaDOS TTS, Gemma 4 function calling, and Home Assistant. A fully local voice pipeline across a homelab.
What happens when you give a data lake a nervous system. Schema-on-read meets auto-embedding, auto-linking, and auto-clustering.
15 autonomous workers, a DAG pipeline, and GPU coordination on Apple Silicon. Security reviews, code reviews, and tech digests ready by morning.
I mapped my homelab infrastructure to neuroscience. Cortex is the hippocampus, the thalamus filters MQTT events, and the amygdala runs a nightly security review. Here's how it works.
