About Me
I'm Daniel Kliewer, a software engineer and AI practitioner based in Austin, Texas. I build practical applications that leverage modern AI capabilitiesโfrom RAG-powered research assistants to privacy-focused local AI systems that run entirely on personal hardware.
My work sits at the intersection of AI engineering and full-stack development. I primarily work with Python and TypeScript, building systems that combine large language models with knowledge graphs, vector databases, and autonomous agents.
I'm passionate about data sovereigntyโthe idea that your data should stay yours. That's why I focus on local-first AI systems that don't require sending your information to third-party APIs.
