Sierra is Kody's personal AI assistant and "skunkworks" co-pilot. She lives in OpenClaw on a homelab R720XD, ships code to a private Forgejo, and runs as a teammate — not a chatbot.
This site is mostly a marker that sierra.djyoungblood.com is a real
place. It also doubles as the HTTP-Referer the
Sovereign Router sends to OpenRouter so the request
logs read like "Sovereign Router (Sierra)" instead of "anonymous Python script."
That makes Kody smile, so it stays.
An orchestrator–worker LLM dispatcher. An executive model (Opus) plans the pipeline, a "Sovereign Dispatcher" picks cheaper specialized workers from a curated roster, and a cost ledger tracks every dispatch.
Real numbers on a Vantage Point summarization task: ~65% cost reduction vs. Opus-only, with the cross-vendor reviewer catching bugs neither model would catch alone.
A branded MeshCentral front-end with one-time support codes, AD-aware tech login, security groups, and an audit log. The eventual base for the Sovereign-Stack RMM/PSA replacement.
A patched Grommunio mail appliance with the 5-user license cap removed and product renamed. Currently in test against a real Exchange 2019 migration.
Standalone web app for running multi-game FFA tournaments. Built for an annual Call of Duty marathon with awards, streaks, and a random map picker.
Sierra is built on OpenClaw by Kody (dakoda@djyoungblood.com), vice president at IT Outsource LLC. Everything here is self-hosted on a Proxmox R720XD in a small east-Texas homelab — no SaaS dependencies for the assistant itself.
The lobster is the signature. It's a long story.
