Michael Borck

cybersecurity research cli-tool curtin teaching ai book desktop-app edu-tools maker presentation web-app

University lecturer, maker, and occasional sky-watcher. I build educational tools, run the LocoLab local-LLM research lab, restore vintage 3D printers, and spend too much time staring through telescopes.

🔭 Currently: building LocoLab — running local LLMs on consumer hardware.

🔭 What I Do

  • Teaching — Business programming, Cybersecurity, and AI literacy
  • Consulting — AI literacy, governance & data sovereignty for Australian regulated small businesses
  • Building — Desktop apps and CLI tools for educators
  • Research — Local LLMs on consumer hardware (LocoLab)
  • Making — 3D printer restoration and astronomy at 8020workshop.com
