Home Lab — Infrastructure Portfolio

Multi-node AI inference and SRE automation cluster built by Micheal Breedlove.

30-Second Tour

🏗️ What: A 4-node homelab running local AI models with full SRE automation.

🔧 How: OpenClaw orchestrates AI agents, Ansible manages config, custom Python pipelines handle SLOs, incidents, chaos testing, and evidence packs.

📊 Why: Portfolio demonstrating infrastructure automation, site reliability engineering, security practices, and AI/ML operations.

What I Built

  • Local LLM cluster serving Qwen 2.5 32B, DeepSeek Coder v2, LLaMA 3.1 70B
  • AI agent orchestration across 4 nodes with OpenClaw
  • Full SRE pipeline: Chaos → Resilience → Planning → Actions → SLOs → Incidents
  • Automated backups, secret scanning, and recruiter-grade documentation

What It Demonstrates

  • Site Reliability Engineering (SLOs, error budgets, incident management)
  • Infrastructure as Code (Ansible, systemd, CI/CD)
  • Security (secret scanning, credential policies, safety gates)
  • AI/ML Operations (multi-node inference, model management)
  • Documentation Discipline (architecture docs, runbooks, postmortems)
