My Story in 20 Seconds
Hi, I’m David
Just trying to make powerful AI accessible to everyone.
Started my journey as a full-stack developer in 2017.
In 2023, after years of helping others set up complex AI tools, I decided to build something meaningful of my own.
Discovered the world of open-source AI in 2020 and got hooked.
Spent the last few years working with AI/ML tooling, self-hosted deployments, and open-source projects.
Tested and documented hundreds of open-source AI models and frameworks.
In 2023, after years of helping others set up complex AI tools, I decided to build something meaningful of my own.
Thus, OpenSourceAI Directory was born.
