From constant firefighting to quiet machinery.
I'm Ethan Jensen. I build self-healing infrastructure and license-free platforms — on owned, efficient hardware, no datacenter required — plus the harnesses that let AI act on real systems, carefully.
What I do
Infrastructure that looks after itself.
A platform that heals itself
Monitoring signals become a single clear picture, then sequenced maintenance plans. Approved plans execute and validate themselves — with a human hand on the gate. It scans for security vulnerabilities and drafts their patches, too — supervised while that path earns trust. The first operator-approved autonomous repair has shipped.
Read the case study →Harness design
Powerful automation — including LLMs — wrapped in deterministic gates, shadow modes, and rollbacks. The model proposes; verified machinery disposes.
The method →License-free systems
ERP, CI/CD, SIEM, observability, secrets, identity — a full company stack with zero seats rented.
See the stack →Audit-ready by design
Infrastructure built to satisfy the controls that matter — PCI-DSS, HIPAA, GDPR: data residency, encryption, access control, segmentation, audit trails. I engineer and document the controls; your licensed assessor does the certifying.
Talk compliance →Light on the grid
678 services consolidated onto 16 owned machines — the work of a rack of cloud instances, done on a shelf of hardware. No hyperscale datacenter, no metered cloud power, $0 of rented compute. Efficiency you can point at.
The approach →Trust, engineered
Autonomy is earned, not assumed.
New automation runs in shadow mode and gets graded against reality. Only measured accuracy unlocks the execute path — and the same metric can revoke it. That's how an AI loop earns the right to touch production.
Sovereignty
Every dollar of SaaS is rent.
VMware became Proxmox. Datadog became Prometheus and Wazuh. Salesforce became Odoo. The integrations between them — the part vendors charge for — is the part I build. Roughly $33k/yr of list-price software, replaced at $0, owned outright.
Elsewhere
Other things we run.
Public services living on the same self-hosted infrastructure. The status dots are live — pulled from our own monitoring, not decoration.
