What I Orchestrated Goal. Delegation. Review and merge. Outcome.

Canada's public-sector data pipeline. The portal reports 207 data modules, 184 MCP tools and 13 jurisdictions; the API and MCP server run on the homelab cluster.

Goal

Serve Canada's public-sector record — committee transcripts, lobbying registries, procurement records, departmental publications — as an API and an MCP server instead of a shelf of PDFs.

What I delegated

The ingest and normalisation pipeline, the REST surface and the MCP tool layer, worked in TypeScript against Redis and SQLite.

My role

I decide what the public portal exposes and I keep the review and the merge. The source stays private; the service is public.

Outcome

207 data modules, 184 MCP tools and 13 jurisdictions live at quill.maplespike.ca.

Single-binary auth sidecar: WebAuthn passkeys, SIWE wallet login and JWT sessions on SQLite.

Goal

Self-hosted services should not need a third-party identity provider.

What I delegated

One Rust/Axum binary: WebAuthn passkeys, SIWE wallet login and JWT sessions over SQLite.

My role

I reviewed the auth paths, merged, and deployed it as a workload I operate in the cluster.

Outcome

A single binary with no external database, running on k3s.

OpenAI-compatible gateway for local models: routing, circuit breakers, caching, RAG and MCP brokerage.

Goal

Give local inference a stable, OpenAI-shaped API instead of a different dialect per runtime.

What I delegated

Routing, circuit breakers, response caching, RAG and MCP brokerage in Python/FastAPI with Redis.

My role

I reviewed the code and published it. I do not claim it serves this site, so the chat panel here stays a static FAQ.

Outcome

Public source and current. It is not deployed in the cluster today.

A small k3s homelab on Omarchy, delivered by Argo CD.

Goal

Own every layer: no cloud, no managed control plane, and no node edited by hand.

What I delegated

The Helm charts and manifests for media, AI and the agent fleet.

My role

Every change lands in git and is reconciled by Argo CD. I review the diff and merge; the nodes are not touched directly.

Outcome

A small k3s homelab, every app from git, zero cloud spend.

Hermes Agent with role profiles, MCP servers and a kanban production desk.

Goal

Agents that operate real services instead of guessing at them.

What I delegated

Role-scoped profiles for infrastructure, sites and content, with MCP servers in front of the services.

My role

I dispatch work on the kanban board, read what comes back, and merge. The board is the coordination layer, not a chat log.

Outcome

A kanban production desk and an agent-to-agent mesh.

Suno artist Reverb256 with 70 songs, fed by a local generation and mastering pipeline.

Goal

Release AI-assisted music under Reverb256 without renting the whole chain.

What I delegated

Generation, then QC, stem separation and loudness on a local toolchain.

My role

I choose what is released. The pipeline does the mechanical work between the idea and the master.

Outcome

70 songs on the Suno profile; the audio tools ship as separate repos.

Consent-first pipeline that builds local-business sites and hosts them from k3s.

Goal

Build local-business sites without publishing anything the business has not approved.

What I delegated

The build and hosting pipeline: a token-gated preview per site, then a git push into the content repo.

My role

The consent gate is the point of the design. Nothing becomes public until the business says yes.

Outcome

Previews stay token-gated; the cluster syncs the published site within 60 seconds.

Alpha migration tool that moves a full OS setup to Omarchy.

Goal

Move a full OS setup to Omarchy without a file-by-file copy.

What I delegated

App detection, mapping to Omarchy equivalents, config porting and Home Manager profile generation.

My role

I reviewed the mapping and merged. It is still an experiment, and it is labelled as one.

Outcome

Early, but the hard part works.
