👋 Hey there, I'm Chris Mayenschein

DevOps • Linux SysAdmin • Robotics & Automation Engineer • Creative Technologist

🚀 I bridge software and hardware through automation, robotics, and open-source engineering.
With experience spanning Linux infrastructure, solar systems, embedded hardware, and DevOps, I thrive on solving real-world problems through code, circuits, and a bit of caffeine.


⚙️ What I Build

  • Kubernetes HomeLabs – because cloud-native shouldn’t be limited to the cloud.
  • Automation Tools – from robots to routers, I script everything I can.
  • IoT + Electronics Projects – blending physical computing with smart software.
  • Open Source Experiments – check out ClusterShed for more polished releases.

🧠 Currently Exploring

  • Smarter DevOps workflows with AI assistance
  • Lightweight observability in home and edge clusters
  • Integrating robotics control with GitOps-style deployments

🛠️ Featured Projects

  • amdgpu-K3s - Minimal AMD GPU support tests for ollama running in Kubernetes k3s
  • Paila - Parsing AI for Logging & Analysis
  • ClusterBulb - Visual cluster health indicators with Home Assistant
  • Homelab-K3s - My evolving edge Kubernetes environment
  • Myrmidon-K3S - A Kubernetes cluster experiment using extreme low power machinery with a goal to run purely off renewable energy.

🧩 A Bit About Me

“If it runs on code, circuits, or caffeine… I’ve probably worked on it.”

When I’m not tuning a cluster or wiring up a sensor, I’m likely designing new automation concepts, creating content at ClusterShed, or exploring robotics hardware.
