This is OwnShire.

I'm Sergei, and I build at the seams of machine learning, systems, and information retrieval. My Own* stack lives here: a custom LLM inference engine, a Vulkan-based browser, a local search engine, and the supporting services I've built around them.

Plus my writing about what I learn building all of it, and a way to reach me. Indexed; not advertised. No tracking, no JavaScript, no CMS - the page you are reading is a static file on a CDN, the same file for everyone.

Now

Own Engine. Stabilizing drift in a self-learning LLM - forty-two daemon iterations in. The search answer-box and VulkanBro's rendered presence are both waiting on this.
VulkanBro. C++/Vulkan renderer, twenty‑plus working plugins. The 3D presence needs the engine's continuous learning to hold steady first.
Own Router. Claude Code proxy for inspecting how system prompts shape behaviour. What it logs goes back into the engine work as prompt audits.
Writing. Three posts queued - drift analysis, then Own Router, then LLM-adoption patterns. The first one waits for the drift to be stable enough to publish about.

Projects - the Own_* stack: engine, browser, search, catalog;
Writing - notes, writeups, research. Written when there's something to say.
About - who I am, what I do, why. Not a resume.
Search - my own search engine. Coming; will live at /s.
