Distributed AI platform architecture

My main service: private, proprietary distributed AI platforms. Architecture, design and specification, then a documented implementation under your control.

Let's Talk! ↗

Linux, personal cloud & migration

Plan and move workloads between on-premises systems and the cloud. Keep dependencies, data, private connectivity and rollback covered.

NixOS · Proxmox · Docker · TrueNAS

Let's Talk! ↗

High-performance & GPU compute

Set-up and tuning of compute hardware and instances for simulation and AI workloads, with monitoring and scheduling.

Linux · GPU · simulation

Let's Talk! ↗

Software & integrations

Back ends, APIs and dashboards that connect systems and remove manual work. Java, C#, Python, SQL and the web stack.

Python · Django · Java · C# · REST

Let's Talk! ↗

Energy data & industrial automation

REST API integrations with grid operators (PJM, ERCOT, IESO, ISO-NE, NYISO, MISO, SPP, CAISO), dashboards and plant-floor connectivity: Modbus, SCADA, I/O logic, OpenPLC.

RTO/ISO REST APIs · Modbus · SCADA · OpenPLC

Network & secure access

Network segmentation, private access and DNS filtering. AdGuard Home, Unbound or Pi-hole can reduce adware, tracking and unwanted domains across devices.

Automation, GitOps & handover

Infrastructure as code and Docker GitOps, documented in plain language: how it works, how to update it, how to recover it.

06 / method · how I work

primus@primusops:~$ ./engage --safe

[ ] 1. talk
A conversation about your goals, current systems and operational constraints.
[ ] 2. design
A written plan with options, costs and risks, before anything is touched.
[ ] 3. build
Staged, reversible changes with clear validation and rollback steps.
[ ] 4. handover
Runbooks and a walkthrough, so you can run it without me.

Least privilege. No shared passwords. No secrets in documents. Recovery procedures tested before they are needed.

building / open energy intelligence

Energy markets, weather and prediction models in one open platform.

An open platform for monitoring peak load and energy prices, combining real market data, weather and forecasting models. Core parts are already built and the platform is in active development. It builds on a working knowledge of how open energy markets operate, with data pulled through the REST APIs of the major North American grid operators.

free: limited access to forecasts
subscription: unlimited access to all energy market data: load, pricing and weather
status: ● open to partners: engineering, data, energy-sector and commercial

Partnership conversations are welcome, from technical collaboration to co-founding.
