PivotPoint Insights Platform

Built a production-grade data ingestion engine — solo, from scratch, with no prior API experience — that crawled Fortune 1000 investor relations pages, SEC EDGAR, and 20+ external sources. Documents were classified, deduplicated, date-stamped, and compiled into structured Excel outputs consumed directly by an LLM running 20+ proprietary business intelligence analyses. The end result: executive-level strategic documentation mapping the external forces acting on any given company.

BNA-Finances

Privacy-first financial planning app with a fully self-hosted AI backend. Inference runs on a local Llama 3.2 3B model on an NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano Super — no cloud AI, no server-side data storage. Exposed via Cloudflare Zero Trust tunnel with zero open ports. Built end-to-end: React frontend, FastAPI backend, GPU-optimised Ollama, systemd services.

Self-Hosted Home Lab

Personal infrastructure stack built for reliability and remote access. QNAP NAS exposed via Cloudflare tunnel with WebDAV and SMB access, protected by Cloudflare Access. Solved persistent autostart on a legacy QTS device where every standard mechanism gets wiped on reboot — required digging into low-level system internals to find a durable solution.

Self-Hosted Password Manager

Privacy-first password manager replacing a commercial subscription. Deployed Vaultwarden on a Jetson Orin Nano Super, exposed via Cloudflare Zero Trust tunnel with zero open ports. A custom Cloudflare Worker provides automatic failover to a Vultr VPS standby if the primary goes down. Encrypted vault data syncs twice daily to both a local NAS and the remote VPS.
