Projects
What’s running, what’s being built and what’s on the drawing board in the UmbraCore lab.
Systems I’m building in the lab. Each project has a page with its current state, the design rules it follows, what’s next, and a running log of field notes.
- Running
AI Stack
A private AI platform on hardware in the lab: local models, retrieval over my own notes, agents and research workflows, all behind one gateway.
- Running
Homelab
The infrastructure under everything else: virtualization, storage, network, backups, monitoring and offline fallbacks.
- Building
Obsidian Toolkit
Custom Obsidian plugins that turn one encrypted vault into a journal, dashboard, lab notebook and mail archive.
- Building
Field Sensor
A drop-in, headless sensor that shows what’s really on a network: unknown devices, rogue Wi-Fi, and anything probing back.
- Building
MailHub
A self-hosted hub that pulls every personal inbox home, sorts and scans it, and lets a local model do the triage.
