For builders and founders. Free, no email required.
The stack I build on, one service at a time.
The stack behind my products and this site, for the builder or founder putting it together themselves. Business owner? You don't need any of it: start here instead.
How to use these
Work through them in order. Each one ends with a working setup you can verify before moving on. The whole stack takes an afternoon and you only do it once; every future project reuses the same foundation.
Stuck on a step? Paste the error or a screenshot into Claude Code and ask. That is the fastest way to get unstuck.
Start here
Claude Code and version control. Everything else builds on these two.
Build the stack
The production stack, one service per guide, in the order I set them up. By the end you have a deployed app that takes real payments and sends real email.

- Your Own Cheap VPN (No Subscriptions)Spin up a VPN you fully control on your own cloud account for ~€5/mo. Native IKEv2 for Mac, iPhone, and Windows — no third-party app, no logs but yours.
How my own setup runs
The bigger picture, for builders: how the pieces I run my own companies on fit together once the stack is up. It is live; this is it.
- How I build: plan, review, shipThe system I run today. Claude Code plans, builds and reviews in a branch, a second pair of eyes checks the PR, and it ships. The whole cycle, as it runs on my own products.
- How it runs overnight: the agent layerThe agent layer of Antrix OS, the system I run my companies on: a dashboard, a daemon on a Mac, the five personas, the schedules, the Operator OS folder on Drive, and the report that lands in the morning. Members get it with the AI Operators Guild.
Was this useful?
New guides land with you first: one process a business was doing by hand, and what it took to make it stop.
Rather have it done?
I install the system in your business and your team holds the controls. We start with the pain that costs you most. Fixed fee to start; a retainer after, if you want me around.

The AI Operators Guild: every lesson recorded as it's built, and one member's grind automated live every Wednesday. $29 a month for founding seats, locked while you stay. $59 after.
