The gang — products & systems

Kovanex

A ~47k-LOC self-hosted DevOps platform in Go: Git, CI/CD, Kanban, container registry, a secrets vault (Shamir Secret Sharing), and an MCP server (~20 tools) giving AI agents end-to-end control. 18 gRPC services, cluster mode, one binary — built solo and developed inside itself.

AI / LLM inference stack

A pure-Rust LLM inference engine (the vLLM/TGI layer) with custom Apple Metal GPU kernels and quantized kernels for GPU-free edge — plus an in-house LoRA trainer, so the heads are a real architecture, not a wrapper.

Vector DB & RAG

An embeddable HNSW vector database with a document + graph model, used as the memory and knowledge substrate for the agents and the semantic-codec work.

Semantic-codec messaging

A research track transmitting meaning (a compact frame + persona, 50–200 bytes) instead of signal, decoded locally into any modality or language — a universal messenger with no wide channels.
