Who I am

I build systems that stay alive under pressure. Twenty-two years of Fortune-100 platforms taught me to read the evidence before touching the config, find the bottleneck beneath the symptom, and leave a team that can run it. Last 24 months: private RTX 4070 lab, measured ~27× local decode, production agents, bounded MCP — same diagnostic playbook as Informatica Grid/HA. Operating line: customer satisfaction is worthless; customer loyalty is priceless.

Independent lab · Aug 2024 – Present

4070 RTX Tabby Tavern Stack

6-container Compose + CUDA on RTX 4070 / WSL2: TabbyAPI EXL3, Ollama, Open WebUI, SillyTavern, SearXNG, Redis. Flash-attention, q8 KV, GPU passthrough. Forced CUDA offload, VRAM pre-warm, LiteLLM failover. HF: huggingface.co/jpanasuk/tabby-tavern-stack.

27× Local Grid Suite

Operator telemetry: discover, bench decode/prefill, GPU routing, SQLite, CLI + PDF. Checked-in: 1.39 tok/s → 37.47 tok/s after routing. Warm stream ~76 tok/s. github.com/jpanasuk-netizen/local_grid_suite.

MCP Dockroot-MCP

Agents see Docker/network. They do not get host-root. Same Grid/HA instinct: measure the boundary, then hand the agent the boundary — not the box. Image: hub.docker.com/r/jpanasuk/dockroot-mcp.

Agents Pipeline + OpenClaw

Systems → architect → validator on local Ollama: structured output, repair retries, collision + regression. OpenClaw WhatsApp agents, 10+ skills. Multi-provider routing with cloud failover.

Also retained through 2025 for Informatica production rescue: Grid/HA, PowerExchange CDC, IDQ, v9/v10, SOW/sizing, SOAP/REST, install-to-go-live. Ivy Funds Grid/HA · Fed Reserve Philadelphia Windows→Unix plan · Farmers Insurance Linux SOAP/REST · Giesecke & Devrient Developer platform (REST/SOAP, VMs, GitHub, Docker).

The fire department — the work most engineers avoid

Parachuted into 20 troubled accounts. Recovered 19. Milwaukee insurer: three-month outage closed in two days — one buried IBM DB2 driver setting. Mercedes-Benz +200% on the longest workflows. West Bend Mutual −50% on real-time SOAP/XML. Tuning frameworks adopted by whole client teams. Lectures at conferences and user groups on v7–v10 upgrades. Walk into the fire, find the root cause, ship the fix before C-level stops trusting you.
