Followed by UI M

I build local-first AI and data apps you actually own—RAG systems, AI agents, and quant/data tooling that runs on your own hardware. Ex-Amazon finance, now shipping AI products solo under FantasyLab.ai. Recent builds: Aurora (a cited local-LLM analytics engine, #1 Product of the Day on PeerPush) and Fantasy Studio. I take AI ideas from interesting to deployed and explainable.
