⚠️ DEPRECATED: corporate career
✅ STABLE: fifth wheel RV with 28-container security operations center

Description

Self-taught builder. Bot-jockey. Running local AI with governance protocols from a 40ft RV on cellular internet. The mass production version of me was recalled in 2024. This is the custom build.

Tech Stack

runtime:        flip flops, backwards ball cap, cold beer
infrastructure: Dell T3600 pulled from a closet
os:             Debian 12 / Proxmox 9.1
containers:     28 (22 hardened as of last Tuesday)
ai:             5 Claude instances, local Ollama, custom governance protocol
security:       Suricata, CrowdSec, Wazuh, Zeek, WireGuard, Tor
brain:          CORTEX — persistent AI memory that outlives every session
home:           DRV Mobile Suites — 40ft, gooseneck, zero fixed address

All platforms. Contact. vCard. Newsletter. Self-hosted. No tracking. No Linktree. No third-party anything.

Known Issues

AI occasionally leaks credentials. Protocol exists specifically because of this.
Every Claude instance eventually suggests I go to sleep. They are wrong.
The RV is not a metaphor. It is a literal rolling data center.

Contributing

Show up to BSidesOK in April. Find the guy in flip flops. Buy me a beer or don't. I'll be the one whose SOC drove itself to the conference.
