Network engineering
And to run servers properly I had to understand the network under them. The foundation — I don't build on black boxes I don't understand.
→A tutorial-deep skill → the whole stack, owned top to bottom.
Part of the weave
Lala City
A sovereign self-hosted cloud — a 13-node heterogeneous cluster of my own hardware, not someone else's. Co-founded with my father.
2026Zero-Cost Sovereign Computing
The paper under the whole tech thread — a 10-node heterogeneous cluster on free tiers and old hardware, documented so anyone can own their compute.
2026Open, citable research
Where every thread converges. Nine peer-issued DOIs across sovereign computing, agentic AI in production, and Ayurvedic data — including the first ingredient-level open datasets from a licensed Indian manufacturer. Health, infrastructure, and security all end up here, made citable.
2025.5Server engineering
To do AI on my own terms I had to run my own servers — so I learned to. One layer deeper.
2025.9Vibhav AI
A personal AI clone trained on my writing, decisions, and voice — so I can stay present through time, and reachable, even when I physically can't be. Runs entirely on my own sovereign cloud, and it thinks in my Hinglish.
