I followed AI from machine learning into increasingly capable language models and larger context windows.
Currently building a private, self-hosted AI environment that combines model access, personal-document retrieval, vector search, MCP tools, workflow automation, and custom interfaces. The aim is to deepen my understanding of AI automation and explore a personal assistant that can learn from use, retain what is useful, forget what is not, and support work across development, operations, and everyday life.
Current direction
Exploring controls engineering and commissioning for greenfield power and IT infrastructure.
Relevant experience, with more still to learn.
