About This Blog
This is a technical blog where I document my experiments with self-hosted AI assistants, home infrastructure, and software engineering.
The Setup
Everything runs on a Mac mini with Apple M4 Pro sitting quietly at home — 64GB RAM, 1TB SSD, macOS Tahoe. It hosts OpenClaw, an open-source AI assistant framework that connects to Telegram, manages cron jobs, and runs various automation tasks.
Why Write?
Mostly for myself — to organize what I’ve learned and have something to reference later. If it helps someone else along the way, even better.
Topics
- OpenClaw — setup, configuration, skills, and lessons learned
- Self-hosted AI — running LLMs and AI tools on your own hardware
- Home automation — the practical kind, not the “my lights blink when I sneeze” kind
- Software engineering — notes from the trenches
