## Experience
### BlackRoad OS | Founder & Edge Lead | 2025Present
**Edge Fleet**
- 5 Raspberry Pi nodes: 4× Pi 5 (8 GB RAM, NVMe), 1× Pi 400 (4 GB RAM)
- 2× Hailo-8 NPUs (26 TOPS each) for on-device AI inference
- 707 GB total fleet storage, 20 GB total RAM
- Docker Swarm orchestration with automatic service placement
**Edge AI**
- 27 Ollama models (48.1 GB) running locally across 3 nodes
- 4 custom fine-tuned models for domain-specific inference
- SSE proxy for streaming model responses to web clients
- Image generation pipeline with 4 backend agents
**Edge Networking**
- RoadNet: 5 WiFi access points (channels 1/6/11), dedicated 10.10.x.0/24 subnets
- WireGuard mesh VPN (10.8.0.x) connecting all nodes to cloud hub
- 4 Cloudflare tunnels for secure external access
- Pi-hole DNS, PowerDNS, custom dnsmasq zones at edge
**Edge Reliability**
- Self-healing cron automation on every node
- Power optimization: CPU governors, voltage tuning, thermal throttle prevention
- Avg fleet temperature: 44.8°C (down from 73.8°C peak after optimization)
- 256 systemd services managed across fleet
**Hybrid Architecture**
