I build systems that compound. As founder of Grudged LLC, I design and operate a growing ecosystem of automated services — from AI pipelines and sports analytics engines to real-time ops dashboards and nightly data collection across 39+ sources.
My north star is ownership over income. Instead of trading hours for dollars, I build software assets that generate value autonomously. Every project I ship feeds into a larger system: data collectors populate a warehouse, a knowledge compiler distills it nightly, and a locally-hosted AI model fine-tunes itself on the output. The whole thing runs on infrastructure I own and operate.
I run all of this across a multi-machine homelab — an Arch Linux server for services and data, a Raspberry Pi for networking and monitoring, and a MacBook Pro for development and local AI inference. No cloud vendor lock-in, no monthly bills that scale with usage. Just systems I control end to end.
If I do something twice, I automate it. Nightly pipelines, systemd timers, LaunchAgents — my systems run whether I'm at the keyboard or not.
I run Gemma 4 locally for inference, RAG, and nightly LoRA fine-tuning. No API costs, no data leaving my network, full control over the model.
39+ collectors feed a central data warehouse. Every decision — from betting strategies to investment analysis — is backed by real data.
Python, FastAPI, Angular, PostgreSQL, systemd, nginx — I build and operate the entire stack from database to deployment.
