I build production infrastructure — and the AI that runs on it.
A CS student who runs a homelab like production: a k3s cluster with GitOps and full observability, plus a local + cloud LLM orchestrator that routes every task to the cheapest model that can handle it. Everything below is live from the rack under my desk.
I build and run production-grade infrastructure — k3s, GitOps, full observability, and cost-aware local + cloud AI — and I monitor it like it has paying customers.
I design and build fast, modern websites — like this one — that load instantly, meet accessibility standards, and cost almost nothing to host.
A working replication of NVIDIA's “Small Language Models are the Future of Agentic AI” — their six-step LLM→SLM conversion pipeline, run against my own agent telemetry. Replaying every routing decision in hindsight put 57% of local-tier spend within reach of a 35B model on my own hardware, inside the paper's predicted 40–70% band.
A single-node k3s cluster running Grafana, Prometheus, Loki and ArgoCD — GitOps-deployed, 95.2% uptime, with a Discord incident-analysis bot. The live metrics above come from it.
A from-scratch SwiftUI music player — 10-band parametric EQ, 364 tests, zero third-party dependencies — backed by a Python/yt-dlp streaming service.
I'm Eugene Vincent, a third-year CS student at UIC who treats a homelab like production: version-controlled, monitored, and alerting me before my users — mostly friends on the Minecraft server — notice anything.
Today that rack runs a k3s cluster with GitOps deployments, a full Prometheus/Grafana/Loki observability stack, a Discord incident-analysis bot, and a local + cloud LLM orchestrator that routes each task to the cheapest model that can handle it. This site deploys to Cloudflare Pages but reads its live stats straight from the cluster.
I'm looking for DevOps and AI internships where reliability and cost-awareness matter — and I build clean, fast websites for local businesses on the side.

Hiring for a DevOps or AI internship, need a website that actually loads fast, or just want to swap homelab notes? I read everything and usually reply within a day or two.
