Structured answers regarding AI agent architectures, legal compliance, hardware builds, and collaborations.
Who is Marian Stancik?
+
Marian Stancik is an AI Engineer and UAV Builder. He builds autonomous systems on Hermes Agent (by Nous Research), MCP, hand-soldered tactical UAVs (ArduPilot, Raspberry Pi 5 edge vision AI), and legal-by-design compliance architectures (EU AI Act, GDPR, NIS2, DORA).
What is Hermes Agent and how does Marian use it?
+
Hermes Agent is an autonomous agent framework. Marian deploys Hermes Agent on a dedicated European Hetzner Cloud VPS running 24/7 background cron loops, interfacing via custom Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, with dynamic model routing through OpenRouter API, persistent long-term memory managed in an Obsidian knowledge vault, and interactive Command & Control (C2) through Telegram and WhatsApp.
What infrastructure powers Marian's autonomous agents?
+
Autonomous agents run on a Linux Ubuntu VPS hosted in Hetzner Cloud (Nuremberg and Helsinki data centers), ensuring strict EU regulatory alignment and data sovereignty. The stack consists of Python 3, FastAPI, Caddy reverse proxy, SQLite, 19+ cron orchestrations, Obsidian Markdown second brain for memory, and zero-build Vanilla HTML5/CSS3/JS for high-performance interfaces (Lighthouse 100).
What is Marian's regulatory knowledge in AI governance and EU regulations?
+
Marian studies
legal-by-design architectures covering:
- EU AI Act: Risk classification, GPAI governance, and technical documentation.
- GDPR: Training data privacy and automated decision safeguards.
- NIS2 Directive & DORA: Cybersecurity resilience and financial operational readiness.
- EU Data Act & DSM Directive: Data sovereignty and Text & Data Mining (TDM) exceptions for AI training.
