About LJAweb – My Journey to Local AI
Welcome to LJAweb, where I’m exploring the intersection of local AI implementation, privacy, and digital empowerment.
Who I Am
I’m Lewis Anderson, an IT professional with over a decade of experience across diverse technical environments. My career has taken me from educational institutions to retail operations, where I’ve managed complex systems and provided support for businesses of all sizes.
My passion for technology has always been driven by one core belief: technology should work for people, not the other way around. This philosophy has led me to explore local AI solutions that put control back in the hands of users.
The LJAweb Mission
After years of watching cloud-based AI systems grow increasingly centralized and privacy-concerning, I’ve redirected my focus to building, implementing, and teaching others about local AI alternatives that:
- Run completely on your own hardware
- Keep your data private and secure
- Function independently of internet connections
- Give you complete control over your AI systems
Why Local AI Matters
In a world where our data is continuously harvested and our digital autonomy is shrinking, local AI represents a return to digital sovereignty. By running powerful AI models on your own hardware, you regain control of your information while still benefiting from cutting-edge artificial intelligence capabilities.
My Current Projects
I’m currently focused on several projects that demonstrate the practical potential of local AI:
- Sentient OS: A custom operating environment optimized for running multiple local AI models with minimal setup
- LegacyOracle: An agent-based system combining contextual memory with conversational interfaces
- Local AI Workflows: Implementing n8n for practical automation using only local resources
Join the Journey
Whether you’re a privacy advocate, a tech enthusiast, or simply someone who values digital independence, I invite you to explore local AI solutions with me. Through tutorials, guides, and project logs, we can build a more private, controlled, and empowered relationship with AI technology.
