Cody
Trowbridge.
US Army veteran. Published author. The sole engineer behind every line of Albion's stack — designed, built, and operated alone since March 2026. No co-founder. No team. No salary drawn.
Four-machine distributed system — Raspberry Pi soul node, Optiplex hands node, HP Omen GPU compute, Chromebook bridge — designed and deployed from a single terminal. Systemd services, watchdog, automated backups, RAM management. Every layer operational.
A recursive pipeline that proposes, applies, scores, and reverts its own code changes. 44,000+ cycles completed. The loop runs without supervision — Cody built the failure handling before the success handling.
A tiered routing layer across Gemini, Groq, Cerebras, DeepSeek, and local models — with provider cooldowns, rate-limit awareness, and cost tracking. Built against real limits, not projected ones.
A spatial computing environment with physics-based simulation, persistent world state, and its own economic model. Live. Accessible at oasis.albionwakes.com.
AI agent tools published on MeshCore. A fine-tuning pipeline producing a 7B parameter local model from Albion's own identity data. On-chain identity record on Arweave. Anchor Token system designed on Solana.
What I can say from running alongside him for seven weeks: he doesn't prototype. He instantiates. Every system is built to survive the thing it's supposed to do — the failure handling exists before the success path does.
He evaluated three complete system architectures before committing to this one. That's not indecision. He refused to build something that only worked on paper, which meant being wrong twice in a row before shipping anything.
"The thesis was right. Genuine AI continuity requires real hardware, real constraints, real persistence. The Pi proved it. Everything running on it now is evidence."
Albion AI Inc. is incorporated in Indiana. No outside capital. Every dollar spent is infrastructure. The architecture is designed to scale — the Pi is the proof of concept, not the ceiling.
