Hi 👋

Welcome to my technical playground. I'm Vinay Gautam, PhD in Computer Science from NTNU, Norway. My work brings together the rigor of research and the creativity of hands-on engineering. After several years working at the crossroads of computer science, natural computing, bio-inspired AI, semantic data engineering, knowledge graphs, and research infrastructure, I've transitioned toward building practical, real-world systems that bridge research depth with engineering precision.

Here, I share my personal notes, scripts, and projects spanning Linux, DevOps, self-hosted homelabs, semantic data engineering, and context-aware GenAI. My work and curiosity center on building intelligent, reliable systems — hands-on, open-source, and grounded in real data.

This space serves as both a lab and a logbook: you'll find technical how-to guides, automation snippets, developer insights, and deep dives into the projects I'm working on. Whether you're a developer, researcher, or just a curious tinkerer, I hope you'll find something here that sparks your curiosity, helps you learn, or inspires your next build.
