LAUDAT · Munich, Germany
Mihai Laudat
I build and run LAUDAT — a production practice, a self-hosted infrastructure stack, and the policies that keep them accountable.
About
I'm a student at the Lion-Feuchtwanger-Gymnasium in Munich. Under the LAUDAT name I work across three areas: production — planning and shooting film and aerial video and building the web pieces that go with it; infrastructure — a self-hosted stack I design, run, and secure across home hardware and rented servers in Germany and Romania; and policy — the terms, privacy, and acceptable-use documents that govern those services. LAUDAT is steadily being formalised as a brand and entity.
What LAUDAT does
Film, aerial & web
Concept-to-delivery production: on-location and aerial cinematography with a DJI Mini 3, handled with the flight approvals and liability paperwork real shoots require — plus the web pieces that ship alongside them, from study guides to literary-analysis microsites and interactive learning tools.
A self-hosted platform
Identity, mesh networking, media, video, automation, DNS, routing, local AI, and deep packet inspection — designed, deployed, and monitored across home hardware and rented servers in Germany and Romania.
Governance & documentation
The Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, and Acceptable Use rules that set expectations for everyone using the LAUDAT services — written to keep a self-hosted platform accountable.
