Summary

Infrastructure engineer building and operating a 7-node distributed compute fleet with 707 GB storage, 20 GB RAM, 52 TOPS AI acceleration, and WireGuard mesh networking. Manages 256 systemd services, 14 Docker containers, and 48+ production domains with automated monitoring and self-healing.


Experience

BlackRoad OS | Founder & Infrastructure Lead | 2024Present

Physical Infrastructure

  • Built and maintain 5 Raspberry Pi edge nodes (4× Pi 5 with NVMe, 1× Pi 400)
  • Installed and configured 2× Hailo-8 AI accelerators (52 TOPS combined)
  • Managed hardware: NVMe drives, Pironman5 enclosures, OLED displays (I2C), UART adapters
  • Resolved undervoltage issues via config.txt tuning, power supply assessment, overclock removal

Network Infrastructure

  • WireGuard mesh VPN (10.8.0.x) connecting all nodes through DigitalOcean hub
  • RoadNet WiFi mesh: 5 access points on channels 1/6/11, dedicated 10.10.x.0/24 subnets per node
  • 4 Cloudflare tunnels for zero-trust external access to 48+ domains
  • 48 Nginx reverse proxy configurations
  • DNS infrastructure: Pi-hole (Alice), PowerDNS (Lucidia), custom dnsmasq zones (Cecilia)

Compute Management

  • 256 systemd services and 35 timers across fleet
  • 14 Docker containers via Docker Swarm
  • 27 Ollama models (48.1 GB) across 3 inference nodes
  • 11 PostgreSQL databases, 230 SQLite databases

Automation

  • 212 CLI tools for fleet management
  • 52 automated tasks (17 Mac cron + 35 fleet timers)
  • Self-healing autonomy on all nodes (heartbeat + heal cycles)
  • Fleet power optimization: CPU governors, swappiness, dirty_ratio, WiFi PM, GPU memory reduction
