Cloud-hosted NoSQL database: stores data as a single JSON tree and synchronizes updates across all connected clients in milliseconds.

Firebase Realtime Database is a cloud-hosted NoSQL solution storing all application data as one massive JSON tree. It uses data synchronization, not traditional HTTP requests, to push updates to all connected clients (iOS, Android, Web) in real-time—often under 100ms—making it ideal for low-latency, collaborative apps like live chat. The SDK provides built-in offline support: data persists locally and automatically syncs when the connection is reestablished, ensuring a responsive user experience. Access control and data validation are managed efficiently using declarative Firebase Security Rules.

## 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.
