Experience

BlackRoad OS | Founder & AI Lead | 2024Present

Model Deployment & Operations

  • Deploy and manage 27 Ollama models (48.1 GB) across 3 edge nodes
  • Fine-tuned 4 custom CECE personality models for domain-specific generation
  • Operate 2× Hailo-8 NPUs (26 TOPS each = 52 TOPS total) for accelerated inference
  • Built Ollama Bridge SSE proxy for streaming model responses to web clients

AI Infrastructure

  • Designed multi-node inference routing across Pi 5 fleet (20 GB RAM total)
  • Built AI image generation hub (images.blackroad.io) with 4 backend agents (DALL-E, Flux, SDXL)
  • Manage model lifecycle: deployment, monitoring, memory optimization, thermal throttle prevention
  • Reduced inference node temperature from 73.8°C to 57.9°C by isolating runaway generation loops

APIs & Integration
