Turning complex problems into intelligent systems - from enterprise GenAI and cybersecurity to smart home automation.

Things I've built

AI agents, home-lab hardware, and the occasional rescued router.

IoT / AI Agent

HomeBotAI

An intelligent smart-home assistant powered by LangChain + Gemini with 59 tools, live Home Assistant awareness, learnable skills, proactive Telegram automations, a voice assistant, and a full Next.js dashboard -- evolved from an n8n-based ambient intelligence system into a production AI agent.

Networking / Self-Hosting

OpenWrt Travel Gateway

A discarded TP-Link Archer C6 turned pocket travel router: in-kernel WireGuard over IPv6 back to a Mac Mini at home (beating CGNAT), plus a 5.6 KB mobile portal for joining hotel Wi-Fi in one tap.

AI / Habit tracking

LogPose

A One Piece-themed habit tracker PWA where real-world actions raise your Bounty and train your Haki. A Gemini vision "Marine Verifier" checks photo evidence and returns a structured verdict before a voyage counts.

AI / Desktop

AI File Organiser

A desktop app that asks an LLM to plan how a messy folder should be renamed and sorted, shows the plan for review, and only moves files after you approve. Works with local models (Ollama, LM Studio) or Gemini via LiteLLM.

AI / Automation

InstaGenie - AI Image Bot

A Telegram bot that generates personalized AI images from text, voice, and photo inputs using Flux with custom LoRA adaptation, orchestrated entirely through n8n visual workflows.

Hardware / Self-Hosting

Home Lab & Maker Workshop

A Mac Mini-powered home server running 15+ containerized services (Plex, Ollama, Coolify) alongside a Bambu A1 3D printer integrated into Home Assistant for smart monitoring and custom prints.
