If you are reading this, the ingress controller actually worked.

Welcome to ScrappyBots. This site is currently in its "Alpha Build" phase—much like the robots I build, it’s functional, slightly dangerous, and held together by high hopes and rigorous engineering.

The Mission

I am a "Vocational Technologist." By day, I design enterprise architecture for massive scale. By night, I apply that same rigor (and chaos) to my garage.

ScrappyBots is the documentation of that collision. It is where enterprise-grade DevOps meets janky hardware hacking. We don't just glue servos to cardboard here; we run K3s clusters on the cardboard to orchestrate the servos.

Incoming Transmissions

I am currently migrating data from my brain to this database. Expect detailed build logs and deep dives on:

• Robotics & ROS2: Building autonomous agents that (mostly) don't run into walls.
• The "Scrappy" Stack: How this site is self-hosted on a custom Kubernetes cluster.
• Project "Neotropolis": Designing a fully functional LARP Casino for the futuristic wasteland.
• Van Modernization: Dragging a 1995 Dodge B2500 into the 21st century with ESP32s and stubbornness.
• Local AI: Running LLMs on bare metal because the cloud is just someone else's computer.

Status: PENDING

The paint is still wet, and I'm probably tweaking the CSS injection right now.

Stick around. The compile is almost finished.

Terminal Tip: If the site looks broken, it’s a feature, not a bug. It’s "industrial chic."
