Open-Standards AI Architecture on Linux & Kubernetes.
Architecting vendor-neutral, production-grade AI systems with open standards: CNCF Kubernetes, Knative scale-to-zero serverless, Open Inference Protocols, and local Linux runtimes. Full how-to solutioning with enterprise advisory.
Deploy autoscaling, high-throughput LLMs in Kubernetes using standard CNCF manifests, PagedAttention continuous batching, and Horizontal Pod Autoscalers.

Open-Standards AI Solutions Ecosystem
Architecting high-performance, vendor-lock-in-free AI systems using open protocols, open frameworks, and modern Linux kernels.
Kubernetes AI & GPU Clustering
Production Kubernetes GPU orchestration with KubeRay, KServe, and vLLM. Features Multi-Instance GPU (MIG) slicing, GPU time-sharing, and dynamic worker pool auto-scaling.
- KubeRay distributed training operators
- KServe Open Inference Protocol (OIP v2)
- Stateless Talos & Flatcar Linux worker nodes
Knative Scale-to-Zero Serverless
Open-standard serverless AI inference using Knative Serving and CloudEvents. Automatically scale GPU model pods to zero when idle, drastically reducing infrastructure compute costs.
- Knative Serving autoscaling & cold-start tuning
- CloudEvents standard asynchronous eventing
- OpenFaaS & containerized inference workers
Linux Desktop AI Workstations
Local on-device inference using open runtimes (Ollama, llama.cpp, ONNX Runtime). Private coding copilots, local embedding models, and audio transcription without telemetry.
- Wayland & NPU open driver integration
- llama.cpp AVX-512 & Vulkan compute
- Ollama systemd background service tuning
Containerized AI & Vector Stores
Turnkey Docker Compose and rootless Podman AI suites. Complete open stacks combining OpenWebUI, Milvus / Qdrant vector databases, SearXNG private search, and local RAG pipelines.
- Docker Compose multi-service AI stacks
- Rootless Podman for enterprise security
- Open standard embeddings & Qdrant / Milvus
