A synthetic payments platform that scores every transaction for fraud in real time, with training, registry, serving, monitoring, and alert-driven retraining automated end to end on my homelab. Including the drill where the traffic drifted and nobody touched anything.
Building a demand forecasting pipeline from scratch to learn PyTorch, MLflow, and Kubeflow on my homelab Kubernetes cluster.
A LangGraph pipeline that takes a spec and acceptance scenarios, implements the change with LLM driven tools, runs the tests, and loops until the scenarios pass.
A Kubernetes-native hosting platform that provisions isolated game servers through the API, routes players through a single Velocity proxy, and ships with auth, billing, support, and admin tooling.
