Infrastructure & Software Engineer

Gregory Hite

TypeScript developer and infrastructure engineer. Designed the Raspberry Pi rack infrastructure that powers Burtson Labs' Kubernetes cluster — running Bandit Stealth, the Agent Framework, and more. I bridge the gap between hardware and software.

What I build

TypeScript & Frontend

React applications, component libraries, and developer tooling with a focus on clean architecture.

  • React 19 + Vite
  • MUI component systems
  • Type-safe APIs

Homelab & Infrastructure

Designed the rack layout for the Raspberry Pi cluster that powers all of Burtson Labs — cable management, power distribution, and cooling for a multi-node on-prem setup.

  • Raspberry Pi clusters
  • Kubernetes on-prem
  • Network & power design

Game Development

Building games as a creative outlet — experimenting with engines, physics, and procedural generation.

  • Game engines & frameworks
  • Procedural generation
  • Physics simulation

Pi Rack Design

Custom-built infrastructure powering Burtson Labs' Kubernetes cluster

Power Distribution

Redundant power supplies and PDU design ensuring each Pi node stays online during peak workloads.

Cooling & Airflow

Active cooling with fan arrays and thermal monitoring to keep nodes stable under sustained Kubernetes workloads.

Network Architecture

Gigabit networking with proper cable management for inter-node communication and external traffic routing.

Storage & Persistence

External storage solutions for persistent volumes, backups, and container image caching across the cluster.

Reliability

Designed for 99% uptime — the rack runs production workloads including the Bandit Stealth VS Code extension.

Scalability

Modular rack design allows adding new Pi nodes as the Burtson Labs workload grows — from AI inference to CI/CD.

Powers Burtson Labs

The Pi rack cluster hosts the Kubernetes infrastructure that runs Burtson Labs' product suite — from AI-powered developer tools to open-source MCP servers.

Bandit Stealth

VS Code / Cursor extension delivering local-first AI coding assistance. Runs inference workloads on the Pi cluster.

Ollama VS Code LLM

Bandit Agent Framework

CLI-based agent system with tool calling, session management, and subagent spawning. Hosted on the cluster.

Node.js CLI Agents

MCP Servers

Model Context Protocol servers enabling tool integration across AI agents and IDEs.

MCP Tools Integration

The Journey

Started with TypeScript

Built React applications and developer tooling, focusing on clean architecture and type-safe APIs.

Designed the Pi Rack

Created the physical infrastructure — rack layout, power distribution, cooling, and networking — for a multi-node Raspberry Pi Kubernetes cluster.

Deployed Kubernetes

Stood up K3s on the Pi cluster, configured Helm charts, ingress, and persistent storage for production workloads.

Burtson Labs Goes Live

The rack now powers Bandit Stealth, the Agent Framework, MCP servers, and the Burtson Labs website — all running on-prem.
