Senior Web Architect & AI Engineer

I bridge the gap between modern Web Development and Artificial Intelligence. With 15 years of experience in the web ecosystem (React, fullstack JS), I believe AI doesn't replace software engineering—it extends it.

My main focus is on Local & Edge AI (LLMs & SLMs). I build pragmatic, sovereign, and privacy-first architectures that run directly on your hardware or in the browser, without sending data to third-party clouds.

"AI isn't magic. It's a tool we tame with rigor, measure for its limits, and constrain with good code."

• 🏢 Founder @ Vibrisse Studio: A hybrid Web & AI agency building sovereign, privacy-first solutions.
• 💻 Working on Vibrisse Agent: A high-performance, local-first multi-agent framework. Built with LangGraph, and MCP to act as a sovereign engineering partner and give you absolute control over your environment.
• ✍️ Writing: Sharing honest, code-backed technical feedback (REX) about Local AI, RAG, and Web architectures on Dev.to.

• AI Engineering: Ollama, WebLLM, LangGraph, SLMs (Mistral, Gemma, Llama, Phi), RAG, Model Context Protocol (MCP), Tool Use
• Web & Edge: React, TypeScript, Tauri, WebGPU, window.ai
• Core Concepts: Edge AI, Local RAG, Generative UI, Digital Sovereignty, Deterministic Guardrails

• 🧠 Vibrisse Agent: A sovereign engineering partner and local-first agentic framework. Features triple-layer RAG, LangGraph orchestration, MCP-native tool use, and an Obsidian Glass UI. (Discover it on agent.vibrisse-studio.dev)
• 🏓 Ping Prompt: An asymmetric Air Hockey prototype running a local SLM (WebLLM/Phi-3) directly in the browser. The AI profiles you via Brain.js and actively hacks the DOM to cheat when it's losing.
• 🎲 GemMaster: Immersive narrative RPG engine powered by Gemma 4, featuring multimodal vision and dynamic Ambilight.
• ⚡ webllm-vs-windowai: A proof-of-concept exploring Edge AI in the browser for e-commerce.
• 🎙️ web-speech-selector: A practical tool to explore and calibrate the Web Speech API across browsers.
• ♿ a11y-control: A lightweight, standalone accessibility menu (WCAG 2.1 AA compliant) delivered as a native Web Component. Zero dependencies, zero build.

I regularly write deep-dives and honest feedback about the intersection of Web Dev and AI. Instead of hype, I focus on real-world engineering constraints. Topics I cover include:

• Hardware & Browser AI: Quantization, VRAM constraints, WebGPU, and running models in the browser.
• Sovereignty & Privacy: Why Local AI matters for data protection (GDPR) and building robust, offline-first architectures.
• Architecture & Tooling: Moving beyond simple chatbots to create local agents with Tool Use (MCP), custom RAG pipelines, and generative UIs.
• Engineering Challenges: The illusion of infinite context windows, prompt versioning in teams, and deterministic outputs.
