Support Derek Robertson

Derek is a hands-on full-stack developer and builder who thrives on turning ideas into working systems. He gravitates toward a practical, “simple but powerful” stack, lean Node.js backends, vanilla JavaScript frontends, while also pushing into more experimental territory like Babylon.js 3D environments, local AI agents, and self-hosted LLM infrastructure. His work blends technical depth with real-world application: from building automated crypto trading bots and plugin ecosystems to running a 3D printing business with custom tooling and instant quoting pipelines. He prefers control, privacy, and efficiency, often stitching together older and newer hardware into capable local AI systems, and is constantly refining workflows to be faster, smarter, and more autonomous.
