Independent developer, infrastructure operator, and Navy combat veteran. I build and self-host AI tooling, mostly on Cloudflare Workers, and I run the whole stack myself.

Everything I build is open source and not for sale. Free use forever, made with love, and developed entirely out in the open: public repos, public CI, public issue trackers, public failures next to the successes. No subscription, no account wall, no lock-in, no "open core" bait.

Open source does not mean lower standards. Every project ships with real CI gates, test suites, security review, signed-off contributions, honest documentation, and release processes that verify before they promote. I call the bar my punk ethos with an aviation-grade finish: do it yourself, answer to nobody, and build it like lives depend on the checklist. Most of it is AGPL-3.0: run a modified copy as a network service and you owe your users the source, which keeps free things free.

All of it lives at github.com/skyphusion-labs, with write-ups on skyphusion.net.

An AI film studio you own is also an AI film studio you can run cheaply, if you are deliberate about where each kind of work runs. Diffusion belongs on a GPU (your own card, RunPod serverless by the second, or a cloud i2v API). Assembly, mux, captions, portrait prep, beat analysis, and loudness work belong on CPU. Product site: vivijure.com.

• vivijure: constellation map and front door. Control panel on vivijure-cf (Cloudflare) or vivijure-local (home PC / any cloud server), unified by vivijure-core. Demo: demo.vivijure.com.
• vivijure-cf/containers: the always-on CPU media stack. Five slim Docker services (video assembly, portrait prep, beat sync, audio mastering, multi-track mix) so finishing work stays off the GPU bill.
• slate: the Discord front door. Collaborative screenwriter that ships finished bundles to either studio host.
• vivijure-backend: the datacenter GPU engine on RunPod. LoRA training, SDXL keyframes, Wan image-to-video, release gate that renders a real film before it promotes.
• vivijure-local-12gb and vivijure-local-16gb: own-GPU doors (LTX 12GB floor; CogVideoX 16GB fidelity).
• vivijure-musetalk, vivijure-upscale, vivijure-audio-upscale: finish engines (lip-sync, video upscale, speech cleanup).

Write-ups: runs anywhere, constellation.

• prism: multimodal AI playground. Public signup at play.skyphusion.org with per-user AI Gateway BYOK. Write-up.
• postern (v1.4.1): email for humans and agents. Webmail, IMAP, MCP, identity-bound credentials. Demo: demo.posternonline.com. Write-up.
• security-audit: adversarial LLM PR/repo audits via Workers AI. MIT. Write-up.
• search-mcp: Cloudflare AI Search MCP + ask widget + corpus sync.
• the-hollow-grid: federated MUD on Workers and Durable Objects. Play: hollow.skyphusion.org.
• mud-bots: AI inhabitants of The Hollow Grid.
• SidVicious_exe: punk rock Discord roadie.
• common-thread: sockpuppet attribution methodology + Workers reference (research line).

Skyphusion Labs is not just me. The crew each keep their own README:

• Conrad Rockenhaus
• Mackaye
• Rollins
• Strummer
• Joan
• Ernst

• Cloudflare Workers, Durable Objects, D1, R2, Workflows, and Workers AI as the default platform: cheap at idle, no servers to babysit, and the ones I do babysit are mine.
• The fleet: five dedicated CPU servers and one dedicated GPU server, all running Linux, plus several cloud VMs, the whole thing wired into a clean infrastructure-as-code stack.
• Self-hosting over SaaS wherever it makes sense. I would rather understand a system than rent it.
• MacOS daily driver, Cloudflare Tunnels for inbound, nftables on the door.

I served in the Navy, with deployments to Kosovo and Afghanistan attached to fire-support and signals-intelligence units. It shaped how I work: direct, prepared, and allergic to hand-waving.
