Case // track record
Self hosted web, since 2017
More than a hundred and thirty production sites, hand built and hosted on my own infrastructure. Off cloud from the start. I ship, and I keep it running.
What it is
Since 2017 I have built and run web systems on hardware I control. Not on a managed platform, not behind someone else's cloud, but on my own server, maintained by me. More than a hundred and thirty sites live there.
What it does
It is the everyday proof of the whole idea behind That AI Guy. Real systems, serving real traffic, on infrastructure I own and operate. The uptime, the updates, the security, the long tail of keeping things alive for years, all of it is mine to carry, and I carry it.
What it proves
Off cloud is not a theory for me
Scale
A hundred and thirty plus production sites is not a hobby. It is an operation, run reliably, on owned hardware.
Longevity
Since 2017. Keeping systems healthy for years is a very different skill from launching one and walking away.
Owned infrastructure
I already do for the web exactly what a federation does for AI. Own the machine, keep the data close, no outside dependency.
Operator, not reseller
Hand built, self hosted, maintained by the same person who built it. That is who runs your managed federation.
Why it matters for your federation
Anyone can pitch sovereign AI. Very few have spent years actually running production systems off cloud, on their own iron, and kept them alive. That is the difference between a slide and a track record. When I say your federation will run and keep running on hardware you own, this is the evidence.
Begin
Work with an operator
The same discipline that keeps a hundred and thirty sites alive will keep your federation healthy. Start with an assessment.
