// 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
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.
thompsonsecure.com ↗02 / Running
A personal and private cloud I own and manage remotely from anywhere; my data, my rules. Nextcloud is a self-hosted alternative to Google Drive and iCloud. Pi-hole blocks ads and trackers at the network level. WireGuard and Tailscale are custom VPN layers that make remote access secure from anywhere. All of it runs on hardware I control, with no monthly fees and no third party holding the data. 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 among others worldwide.
03 / Converging
An Nvidia and AMD GPU fleet built up across multiple hardware generations is converging into a single private AI inference stack. What started as cryptocurrency mining infrastructure is now the hardware backbone of Thompson Secure. CUDA, multi-tenant model serving, and inference distributed across the full cluster.
