Managing Infrastructure with AI
A practical follow-up on using AI to centralize DHCP and secrets management—turning scattered network state and credentials into boring, observable infrastructure.
AI in Infrastructure
How studying Microsoft AB-100 and exploring Azure AI Foundry shaped an agent-assisted migration from an EdgeRouter X to a tested Debian gateway for DNS, WireGuard, filtering, monitoring, and security.
AI-Assisted Hardware Design
Designing and installing a custom ESP32 weather sensor with six sensors, a JLCPCB-made PCB, ESPHome firmware, Prometheus metrics, and Grafana integration.
AI Hackathon at Silicon Saxony Days 2026
Three days at the CGI AI Hackathon during Silicon Saxony Days 2026: building an AI prototype with AWS, Terraform, Dify.ai, Amazon Bedrock, Titan embeddings, and RAG.
Vision-LLM Metadata Pipeline
Building a local Vision-LLM pipeline that turns streamed YouTube uploads into trustworthy metadata without manually scrubbing through every video.
Local AI Assistant Optimization
Refactoring OpenClaw setup, optimizing agents, and integrating local LLMs for efficient automation workflows.
Agentic Assistance via OpenClaw
Five weeks building a hybrid OpenClaw setup: hardware, local AI services, cloud models, guardrails, skills, and a seven-agent operating model.
Updates: IP Compliance & Development
Ongoing compliance efforts across 2D/3D assets and libraries are progressing well. AI remakes, licensing adjustments, DevOps improvements, and new development features have all been implemented to ensure legal clarity, technical consistency, and better usability.
Forum: Azure VM to StaticWebApp
I replaced a costly VM-based Discourse forum with a zero-cost Azure Static Web App powered by Hugo and OpenAI Codex. I detail the rationale, savings, automated workflow, and features added—dark mode, client-side search, responsive design, and newsletter integration.
Foreign IP in Development
Began IP compliance work for Steam release by recreating ~80 assets using AI, documenting all third-party licenses in a summary and licences.json. Added in-app disclaimers and an IP request form with file upload and reCAPTCHA. All measures now integrated into the app.
