I build production infrastructure
that costs almost nothing.
This platform runs 27 modules, 80+ APIs, and a full email system across 13 systems — for $432/year. What I built for myself, I can build for you. Or teach you how.
Build Your Infrastructure
Your cloud bill is a design problem. I fix those.
Infrastructure Architecture
Design and deploy production platforms on Cloudflare free tier + self-hosted compute. Same stack that runs ArgoBox — 27 modules, zero cloud bill.
Cloud Cost Optimization
Audit your AWS/GCP/Azure spend. Identify what moves to free-tier services, what moves to self-hosted, and what stays. Typical savings: 60-90%.
Migration & Setup
Move from expensive managed services to a hybrid model without downtime. Email, databases, storage, compute — one system at a time.
DevOps Pipeline Design
CI/CD that actually works. Git push → auto-build → deploy globally. No Jenkins. No YAML hell. One command, zero manual steps.
This Platform Is My Resume
You're looking at it. Every page, every API, every system.
Full-Stack Infrastructure
13 systems, 66 cores, 2 physical sites, multi-site networking, custom OS tooling, distributed build system. Designed, built, and maintained solo.
Cost-First Engineering
Cost is a first-class architectural constraint, not an afterthought. I don't just "make it work" — I make it work for $36/month.
Deep Linux & DevOps
Gentoo from scratch. Custom package manager (apkg). Proxmox clusters. Tailscale mesh. Ansible automation. Infrastructure as Code.
AI & Automation
RAG pipelines across 166K chunks. Multi-model AI gateway with free-tier failover. Knowledge graph integration. Automated content systems.
Learn How I Built This
No gatekeeping. Just engineering.
Workshops & Pairing
Hands-on sessions building real infrastructure. Cloudflare architecture, self-hosted compute, homelab design. Not slides — terminals.
Content & Build Logs
Blog posts, journal entries, and documentation. Every system is documented, every decision explained, every mistake shared.
Open Knowledge
The playground labs are live. The architecture is public. The cost breakdown is real. Everything I know about this stack is on this site.
Community Projects
Open source tooling, shared infrastructure patterns, collaborative builds. Join the Discord, bring your ideas, ship something cool.
Why This Is Different
Most consultants have a slide deck. I have a live production platform you can poke at right now.
The Proof Is Live
This isn't a portfolio with screenshots. You're standing on the infrastructure. Every dashboard, every API, every page runs on the same stack I'd build for you.

I don't optimize your bill after the fact. I design around cost constraints from day one. The result: a platform worth $40K/year that runs for $432.
See the numbers →Build In Public
Blog posts, journal entries, live status dashboards. I document the work because transparency builds trust. And because debugging at 2 AM makes for good stories.
