Personal AI infrastructure

A private, self-hosted system that connects documents, photos, transcription, semantic search and tool-using assistants without giving up operational control.

System

Personal knowledge that can be searched and acted on.

The system integrates a curated reference repository with private documents, photo and video indexing, transcription, semantic retrieval and tools that let authorised assistants inspect or maintain selected data.

It is deliberately more than a chat interface. It includes source boundaries, audit-aware operations, service health, media enrichment and an evidence model that keeps derived observations separate from canonical records.

Public boundary

Enough architecture to show the work, not enough detail to expose the system.

This portfolio intentionally omits internal paths, credentials, access controls and security-sensitive implementation details. The useful story is that I build and operate complete systems: deployment, routing, storage, search, model integration, monitoring and recovery, not just local prototypes.
