Currently building Unhosted โ AI that lives where you do.
Engineer-turned-designer based in Toronto. 12+ years across enterprise SaaS and cloud database tooling; currently Principal UX at Oracle on OCI Database Tools. On evenings and weekends I'm building Unhosted.
Frontier-class AI inference on hardware you own. Unhosted pools the computers you already have โ and optionally your friends', and optionally a public swarm of strangers' GPUs โ into a single inference cluster. One endpoint. Mac, Linux, Windows. CUDA, Metal, ROCm.
Three trust modes. You decide the radius:
โญโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโฎ
โ public ยท pay (USDC) โ strangers' GPUs, opt-in
โ โญโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโฎ โ
โ โ trusted ยท free โ โ friends, family, team
โ โ โญโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโฎ โ โ

The first two are free forever. The third is the safety net. You can use Unhosted for the rest of your life and never spend a dollar.
Status: pre-alpha, built in public. CLI at v0.0.34.
| Repo | What it is | Lang |
|---|---|---|
| unhosted-core | The daemon โ LAN cluster, mDNS discovery, model management, single-endpoint API. | Rust |
| unhosted-payments | Settlement layer for public mode โ policy-driven, multi-rail, country-aware. | Rust |
| unhosted-plugins | Extensions that talk to the daemon. First: MCP server. | TS |
| homebrew-unhosted | Homebrew tap. Today: RPC-enabled llama.cpp for VRAM-pooling. | Ruby |
Before Unhosted, a connected trilogy of agentic-UX code prototypes exploring how humans stay in the loop with AI agents:
- Helm โ Real-time oversight of LLM agents ยท approval gate, reversibility chip, diff view. live demo
- Sentinel โ Embeddable inline AI oversight ยท ships as React lib, Chrome extension, VS Code participant, Docker. live demo
- Recourse โ Consumer AI as advocate against institutional loops ยท document-first, statute-anchored. live demo
- Probabilistic-UI โ The shared design vocabulary that runs across all three.
- GovLens โ Chrome extension overlaying a universal reader on any government portal across 25+ national TLDs
- WatchTower โ Self-hosted deployment platform; ships across macOS / Windows / Linux / VS Code / PyPI
- EMPATHEIA โ Multi-modal AI companion with offline-first hybrid fallback
Principal UX Designer at Oracle, OCI Database Tools (DBaaS team) โ designing AI-assisted database operations and human-in-the-loop interaction patterns for autonomous agents. Feature specifics under NDA โ the open-source work above is my best public demonstration of how I think about design.
