The Builder’s
Lab.
Production systems built in the open. These are the tools, agents, and infrastructure experiments that run VMG Systems. We dogfood everything we sell.
Alfred (Hermes) SRE Agent
Talos K8s · Qdrant · Ollama · Gemini
Autonomous SRE & incident-response agent running on Talos Kubernetes with a read-only root filesystem. Recalls runbooks and episodic memory via 768-dim local Ollama (nomic-embed-text) embeddings stored in Qdrant (2,148 vectors), executes deterministic remediation tools, and auto-archives verified resolutions.
PD3board Terminal
FastAPI · WebSockets · Canvas/WebGL · SSE
High-throughput financial workstation and Bloomberg Terminal emulator. Features sub-50ms streaming ingestion pipelines, in-memory circular order book (L1/L2 reconstruction), F1-F12 keyboard command dispatch, and 60 FPS hardware-accelerated Canvas/WebGL tick charts in phosphor amber.
Rambler Smart Bridge
NMEA 2000 · Python · Edge Telemetry · HRRR
Real-time marine tactical intelligence and sensor computing bridge deployed aboard Rambler (J/99 USA 99). Ingests 10Hz CAN bus / NMEA 2000 telemetry, computes live polar target velocities, and synthesizes high-resolution NOAA HRRR wind models for offshore race routing.
n8n Automation Layer
GCP · Linear · Slack · Firestore
Self-hosted n8n instance orchestrating three production workflows: GCP infrastructure health checks with Slack alerting, Linear→Slack sprint summaries, and a Firestore polling agent that notifies on completed sales call recordings with full AI-extracted deal summaries.
VMG AI OS
Talos K8s · FluxCD · VMG Viento v0.3.0 · E2EE Vaultwarden
Sovereign private cloud runtime running declarative Talos Linux Kubernetes & Proxmox VE via FluxCD GitOps and SOPS/Age encryption. Governed pre-commit by VMG Viento v0.3.0 (16 static zero-trust invariants + SARIF 2.1.0), 3-way E2EE Vaultwarden secret sync (PBKDF2 600k + AES-256-CBC-HMAC + SHA-256 K8s parity), and weekly 14/14 DR restore drills.
Langfuse Observability
Langfuse v2 · Zero-Dep REST · Qdrant RAG · Nightly Evals
Full-fleet LLM observability pipeline ingesting traces, generations, token usage, and declarative frontier model costs across 6 microservices via a zero-dependency REST client. Paired with a nightly Kubernetes CronJob running golden SRE & Qdrant RAG benchmarks against accuracy baselines.
Everything here runs in production
We dogfood what we sell.
Every system above runs live. If it works for VMG Systems, it is verified as robust enough to ship to clients.
