From Enterprise CTO to Indie Builder: One Full-Stack Engineer's Solo AI Journey

Victor's transition from corporate CTO roles to running a solo studio reflects a growing trend of experienced engineers building independent products with self-hosted AI infrastructure. His focus on optimizing large language models on commodity hardware—specifically a single RTX 3090—addresses a critical question for developers: what's achievable with constrained resources versus enterprise-grade systems. For those pursuing indie development, full-stack AI work, or cost-efficient ML operations, his forthcoming documentation on real constraints and trade-offs promises practical insights often missing from mainstream tech narratives.
