// What I build
I build things and I sell things. These projects show both sides of that. Technical depth paired with commercial thinking.
01 / Active
Originally built as Thompson Blockchain in 2021: an active GPU cryptocurrency mining operation running across Nvidia and AMD hardware at scale. As the economics shifted, the fleet was repurposed into what it is today: a private AI inference stack powering Thompson Secure. The hardware discipline and remote operations experience from the mining era now serve multi-tenant LLM inference, distributed across the full cluster with no cloud dependency.
02 / Running
A private cloud I own and manage remotely from anywhere. My data, my rules. File sync, ad blocking at the network level, and secure remote access via VPN, all on hardware I control with no monthly fees and no third party holding the keys. Also deploying LoRaWAN IoT coverage nodes in underserved markets via the Helium network, which has carrier partnerships with T-Mobile, AT&T, and Dish Network worldwide.
03 / Active
A private AI service for people who need a genuinely private LLM. No third-party servers, no data retention, no logs. Runs on dedicated hardware I own and control. Built for anyone whose conversations should stay theirs.
