Albert G

I build machine-learning models, create automation systems, compete in CTFs, and turn research into hands-on experiments — one side-project at a time.

Currently building

What's on the bench right now. If this list goes stale for more than a month, email me and complain.

Infrastructure

Everything I run lives on two machines: a Dell PowerEdge R610 running Proxmox and an Acer laptop, with around 95 Docker services on top. This site, the blog, the live demos — all served from them, behind Nginx Proxy Manager. The homelab is the project I never stop working on, and the fact that you're reading this page is the uptime report.

About

I'm Albert, 18, from Romania. I got into AI through neuroscience — I wanted to understand how brains work and ended up training the artificial kind. That led to machine learning, which led to security, which led to a rack server at home running 95 containers.

I compete in CTFs and in the Romanian AI & Cybersecurity Olympiad at the national level. University for AI is next. I'm endlessly curious, always diving into anything I find interesting or useful — lately that includes 3D art and photography, which can keep me away from a terminal just long enough.
