Hemroda Martin · Portfolio and evidence

Building AI infrastructure. Auditing how it’s run.

Two parallel paths on one foundation: IT service management, major incidents and root-cause analysis.

I run a bare-metal Kubernetes homelab with a GPU node, and I’m learning to turn AI regulation (EU AI Act, DORA, NIST AI RMF) into controls that can be checked. Every claim on this site links to its proof.

Start with a path

Two paths, one foundation

Build

AI infrastructure

Running the platform AI workloads depend on: bare-metal Kubernetes, a GPU node, automation with Ansible, and the monitoring and recovery work that keeps it all up.

Start here

Coming next

  • Local LLM + RAG on the GPU node
  • Live metrics for the cluster and GPU

Shared foundation

ITIL 4 · major-incident and problem management · root-cause analysis · post-mortems · committee reporting. The homelab is where the two paths meet: I build it, then audit it.
