FORGE — Fast Orchestration, Relay, and General Execution
2024 — Present
A privacy-first, locally hosted AI assistant built from scratch. Handles email triage, task management, daily digests, and outreach tracking — no cloud subscriptions, all data on-device.
Designed and built a privacy-first, locally hosted AI assistant running on a Lenovo server via Docker Desktop. FORGE handles automated email triage, task management, daily digest generation, and outreach tracking — no cloud subscriptions, all data stored locally.
Architected a multi-service Docker stack, developed 21 MCP tools, built a Gmail classification engine with priority bucketing and VIP contact injection, and integrated a deploy/rollback pipeline. The most technically complex system I’ve built independently — runs in production daily.
