AI Platform Infrastructure — "Batcave" Personal ML Cloud

Solo-built private AI cloud on a Beelink mini PC — 56 containers, 36+ self-hosted services, 99.9% uptime. Runs local LLMs via Ollama, RAG pipelines, Authentik SSO, Tailscale VPN, and full Netdata monitoring.

Proof Points

56 containers
36+ services
99.9% uptime
60% lower hybrid-cloud latency

Challenges

  • Managing 56-container orchestration with zero-downtime deployments
  • Implementing zero-trust security across 36+ services
  • Optimizing hybrid-cloud caching reducing latency by 60%
  • Building automated security audit tooling with CWE/CVE scanning

Learnings

  • Production-grade infrastructure automation and MLOps
  • Multi-database architecture design and optimization
  • Advanced Docker networking and systemd service orchestration
