A serverless framework that executes backend logic automatically in response to Firebase events and HTTPS requests.

Deploy Node.js or Python code directly to Google infrastructure without managing a single server. The platform scales automatically (handling spikes like a 10,000-user login surge) and triggers logic based on specific events: a new document in Cloud Firestore, a file upload to Cloud Storage, or a user deletion in Firebase Auth. You pay only for the 100ms execution increments you actually use. It is the standard way to handle heavy lifting like image processing, sending FCM notifications, or securing Stripe payment flows without exposing sensitive keys to the client.

## Recent Public Talks and Demos

### [Your Gaming PC, Humanity’s Cloud: A New Vision for AI Infrastructure](https://nyc.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_vFB96_Hru3U)

I’ll be presenting a desktop platform that turns any gaming PC into an OpenAI-compatible GPU server. The goal is to make compute accessible, collaborative, and decentralized — allowing anyone to share their unused GPU power with friends, communities, or the public. The demo will walk through how the platform transforms a local GPU into an API-compatible endpoint, showing how it integrates with the OpenAI API format for seamless use with existing AI clients. I’ll cover the technical architecture, including GPU resource management, real-time job routing, and the underlying stack used for model execution. I’ll also demonstrate running an AI model locally, sharing it within a small peer group, and scaling it into a shared public pool — all with minimal setup. The presentation will emphasize how this approach can democratize AI compute and enable a community-powered alternative to centralized cloud infrastructure.
