These projects add artificial intelligence features to web applications, allowing end-users to ask for help on using the application and to utilize the AI for several other purposes. The systems that I have designed integrate with OpenAI in several ways, including calculating the cost of AI requests based on tokens, queuing and caching long running requests, applying default system prompt messages to customize the AI responses in a coherent way, training and using fine-tuned custom models for more detailed customizations, and applying tool integration to implement RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) by searching relevant content from Amazon OpenSearch. https://kennethfalck.net/about/cloud/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://kennethfalck.net/about/cloud/ Cloud As an architect, I tend to work at the interface between business requirements and technical design. I listen to the needs, design the systems, and often also help implement and deploy the project. I’m happy when a project is simple, obvious and understandable, while also being easily extensible, maintainable, scalable and cost effective. Most of my cloud projects are deployed on Amazon AWS using serverless technologies. I usually build cloud applications with AWS CDK (Cloud Development Kit), combining both the IaC (Infrastructure as Code) and the runtime code into a single package of TypeScript. https://kennethfalck.net/about/iot/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://kennethfalck.net/about/iot/ IoT My professional experience in IoT (Internet of Things) is mostly related to designing device management systems based on the AWS IoT platform, and implementing device client software using Yocto Linux, AWS IoT Device SDKs, AWS IoT Greengrass and Mender. The main project that I participated in 2017-2022 required a full-featured device management solution, including automated factory software installation, automated device registration in AWS IoT, automated configuration of AWS Greengrass deployments, Python-based Greengrass edge application management, and device software update management at the operating system level. https://kennethfalck.net/about/web3/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://kennethfalck.net/about/web3/ Web3 To me, Web3 means decentralized web applications based on technologies like Ethereum, IPFS (Interplanetary File System) and ENS (Ethereum Name Service). It is not about centralized crypto exchanges, which are usually built using non-Web3 technologies. The primary role of blockchains in Web3 is to enable the incentivization of running decentralized services. In other words, they allow people to earn money by participating in hosting the services. Blockchains also enable community management by decentralized voting, virtual ownership of unique resources like domain names, and even decentralized social media, among many other applications.
