The Forge

Engineering local-first applications, private AI homelab servers, and open-source database setups using Go, Rust, and SQLite. We build software that runs offline, respects data privacy, and operates independently of central cloud providers.

Fabricating modular solar harvesting micro-controllers, custom lithium/sodium battery management setups, and lightweight structural frames. Prototyping physical tools designed for local resilience and long-term durability.

Developing automated watering systems, smart greywater recycling rigs, and biophilic architectural models. Merging natural structures with local sensor automation to support soil health and community independence.

Developing homelab server frameworks and private LLM integrations that operate completely locally. Providing individuals with tools to host their own records and run secure local AI without mining their own private details.

Engineering solar-harvesting battery controllers and automated agricultural node setups. Transitioning from digital independence to physical self-reliance, securing local food, water, and power monitoring utilities.

Prototyping biophilic architectural components and structural materials. Designing buildings that act as active carbon sinks and integrate living systems directly into concrete brutalist and local structures.
