I'm Laxman. I started Aliteq in Kathmandu in 2019 as a PC hardware shop — building, repairing and selling machines — and ran it until 2024. These days I live in Denmark and build AI apps, and aliteq.com is where I work out, in public, what things actually cost: servers, clouds, GPUs, and the software a small company ends up paying for. I write the infrastructure pieces myself because I've had the screwdriver in my hand.

Cloud GPU vs Your Own AI Server: The 3-Year Cost for a Small Company (Calculator)
