Case studies in systems and infrastructure

Every project here runs, or has run, in production for real day-to-day use — not a portfolio exercise. Each one covers the problem, the architecture, and where it stands today.

Graydragon concept interface: a personal intelligence dashboard showing daily intelligence signal, system context, and local AI status.

01Personal Intelligence System

GRAYDRAGON

Graydragon is a personal operating system and AI-assisted second brain designed to help manage attention, memory, waiting-on items, daily context, automation, email, calendar data, and local intelligence processing. It combines software automation, local AI infrastructure, system services, dashboards, APIs, and connected data.

02Context-Aware Security Platform

HOME SECURITY

A custom Reolink-based security platform designed to understand context rather than simply generate motion alerts. It correlates camera activity with presence, zones, known people, and known vehicles to decide what actually deserves attention.

03Home Infrastructure Platform

NETWORK COMMAND CENTER

A centralized control and monitoring interface for home network and distributed infrastructure — node health, service health, network status, and remote node visibility in one place, so complex infrastructure stays understandable at a glance.

HOMELAB

A distributed Linux homelab supporting networking, monitoring, security, AI, storage, VPN connectivity, and application hosting — the physical and virtual foundation the other projects run on.

Local AI Gateway: graydragon-ai node running Qwen3-8B Q3_K_L on a GTX 1080 8GB, serving local, private, GPU-accelerated inference.

05Self-Hosted Inference Platform

LOCAL AI INFRASTRUCTURE

A self-hosted local inference platform using llama.cpp, NVIDIA GPU acceleration, OpenAI-compatible APIs, and Qwen models — the AI infrastructure layer that other projects, including Graydragon, build on.

Mortgage Intelligence dashboard: 30-year rate trend line against a refinance target, with current average, target, and tracked balance.

06Rate Tracking & Decision Support

MORTGAGE INTELLIGENCE

An automated mortgage-rate tracking and decision-support system built around refinance thresholds and long-term financial planning — turning a manual, easy-to-forget check into a monitored, data-backed decision.
