Introducing Gekro News: An AI Briefing That Curates Itself Around Me
A public daily AI briefing that reads a profile of my interests distilled from my own knowledge base, picks the day's real signal, cites its sources, and publishes itself every morning.
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.

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.
