01About

I run backend and infrastructure at LQ Digital. On any given week that is API work, server setup, and whatever AI integration a client product needs, usually across a few projects at once.

Most of what I have built is in private repos. It is client work, so there is not much I can show. The projects below are the parts that are mine to share.

Production runs on VPS I manage myself. I would rather own the stack than hand it to a managed cloud and lose sight of what is actually running.

Alongside the client work, I am researching why current AI architectures fail — specifically the gap between statistical pattern matching and genuine world models. I write about it on the blog and stream the learning process publicly on YouTube.
