Selfhosting

When I started my web development business, I faced the familiar choice: conform to the dominant Big Tech and SaaS ecosystems, or forge an alternative path.

I am always open to technologies and artificial intelligence is one of them. This brought me to an open source solution: LocalAI.

The latest episode of the Tweakers Podcast #385 got me thinking again: You can't do everything on Linux!? I had to smile, because my daily work consistently demonstrates the opposite.

One of the projects I look back on with great satisfaction is the development of a custom clothing webshop. The challenge here was to create a platform that could support the unique needs of a specific niche within the clothing industry.

My own website, thedigitalproblemsolver.nl, is more than just an online business card; it's a concrete example of the solutions I offer.

Recently, I had such an opportunity to sink my teeth into a project that combined two key areas of expertise: deploying the headless CMS Directus and the power of rapid prototyping using AI.
