Edge Computing Engineer

amundsonalexa@gmail.com | github.com/blackboxprogramming


Summary

Edge computing engineer operating a 5-node Raspberry Pi fleet with 52 TOPS AI acceleration, 27 deployed models, WireGuard mesh networking, and carrier-grade WiFi mesh. Builds edge-native services with self-healing automation, thermal management, and hybrid edge-cloud architecture.


Experience

BlackRoad OS | Founder & Edge Lead | 2024Present

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

  • Edge nodes handle AI inference, local services, DNS, monitoring
  • Cloud (Cloudflare) handles 99 Pages deployments, 22 D1 databases, CDN
  • DigitalOcean VMs as WireGuard hubs and public endpoints
  • Tailscale overlay (9 peers) for cross-network management
