I build my own tools, ship them, and run production on them.
Fourteen products, zero investors. A NAS operating system, a deduplicating backup server, an iOS wellness app, a homelab dashboard. My own infrastructure runs on the operating system I wrote, which replaced the Proxmox and Unraid installs it grew out of.

Eight.ly OS — One Go binary that replaces Unraid, Portainer and Proxmox on any Linux box. Docker, KVM/QEMU virtual machines, LXC, SnapRAID and MergerFS storage, SMB and NFS shares, and a local AI assistant with forty-one tools that never leaves the machine. A one-click app catalogue, three editions, bootable ISO with the top one.
Eight.ly Backup Server — Deduplicating backup with content-defined chunking, AES-256-GCM encryption, retention policies and integrity verification. Free with every Eight.ly licence.
Eight.ly Agent — Manage Docker on a machine you are not sitting at. Apache 2.0, signed binaries with provenance and an SBOM, six security reviews passed.
NeuroHelper — A daily wellness companion for neurodivergent minds. Native SwiftUI, AI chat, breathing and grounding exercises, brain games, HealthKit. Live on the App Store. I am autistic and have ADHD; I built the thing I wanted to exist.
HomelabARR CE — Your homelab on one dashboard. 117 self-hosted apps, one click each, three deploy modes. MIT licensed, live demo, and an iOS app.
Operator Kit — Scaffolds an AI operator with identity, three-layer memory, scheduled jobs and multi-agent roles. On npm. The methodology behind it, IPAC, is public.
CF Companion — Watches Docker events and creates Cloudflare DNS records when a Traefik-labelled container starts, so nobody edits DNS by hand.
A real SDLC, not a story about one. Every change starts as a Jira ticket with acceptance criteria and story points, moves through a sprint, and stops at QA for a human. Architecture decisions, runbooks and process manuals live in Confluence and render at docs.mjashley.com.
AI does the typing. I own the architecture. Scope, sequencing and acceptance criteria are mine. Agents implement inside a written contract that caps file size, forces decomposition and bars them from pushing to main. Every change is reviewed in a browser against the running dev environment before it ships, and a second model audits the result.
Guardrails that have actually fired. Automated gates block a merge on unformatted code, oversized files, undocumented work and unverified claims. I fire each new gate at a real broken case before I keep it, because a guard that cannot fire looks exactly like a guard with nothing to report.
My own infrastructure, on my own operating system. Two bare-metal production nodes running Eight.ly OS, which took over from the Proxmox cluster and Unraid array they replaced. Multi-node Docker, Traefik reverse proxy, Cloudflare zero-trust tunnels, self-hosted GitHub Actions runners, and multi-architecture builds for amd64 and arm64.
