About

## Hands-on systems builder with a digital infrastructure mindset

I’m a technical professional focused on digital systems, infrastructure, networking, automation, and hands-on system integration. I enjoy building systems that are practical, reliable, and well documented — from homelab services and dashboards to Raspberry Pi deployments, APRS iGates, and troubleshooting workflows.

My background blends field engineering, industrial technology, software-oriented thinking, and infrastructure problem solving. I’m especially interested in projects that connect the physical and digital worlds through monitoring, networking, automation, and resilient design.

### Core Focus Areas

- Digital systems and infrastructure
- Linux systems and service management
- Networking, VLANs, failover, and connectivity troubleshooting
- Raspberry Pi and edge-device deployments
- Documentation, process building, and reproducible project design

Projects

## 🔧 Infrastructure & Systems Projects

These projects are built around real systems, networking, Linux services, edge devices, and practical documentation.

### 🧠 Ced’s HomeLab Infrastructure

Flagship

### 📡 APRS iGate System

Edge System

RF • Linux • Raspberry Pi • Networking • APRS-IS • Edge Systems

Bridges RF communication into IP-based infrastructure using Linux, Direwolf, and APRS-IS.

Operational dual-node APRS iGate system built with Raspberry Pi, Direwolf, APRS-IS, RF radios, HomeLab network integration, and planned mobile GPS support.

- RF packet decoding with Direwolf
- APRS-IS uplink verified on aprs.fi
- HomeLab WiFi + mobile hotspot failover
- Mobile build includes ETH-USB-HUB-BOX expansion
- Documented configs, architecture, and troubleshooting

NOC Roadmap

## 📊 Ced’s NOC Vision

Ced’s NOC is being built as a staged monitoring and systems-visibility platform for HomeLab, Kubernetes, edge devices, and future production-style dashboards.

### ✅ Current: Portfolio NOC

JSON-driven dashboard that displays real inventory, online/offline checks, service labels, latency, and last-check timestamps.

### ⚙️ Next: Automated Data Updates

Scheduled local script updates will refresh system status data automatically and push dashboard-ready JSON into the portfolio.

### 📈 Future: Grafana + Prometheus

Deeper monitoring stack for Proxmox, TrueNAS, K3s, Raspberry Pi nodes, Uptime Kuma, and APRS edge systems.

Resume Snapshot

## Technical experience that bridges field work and digital systems

### What I Bring

- Industrial and field-service technical experience
- Linux, Raspberry Pi, and systems administration work
- Networking, connectivity, and troubleshooting depth
- Documentation, process building, and reproducible project design

### Current Direction

I’m positioning myself around digital systems, infrastructure, networking, automation, and technical operations — especially roles where hands-on problem solving and system integration matter.

More detailed resume content will be added here as the portfolio grows.

Personal Note

## Technical, curious, and always building

Outside of work, I enjoy electronics, self-hosting, coding, drones, radio, and hands-on technical projects that push me to learn something useful. That curiosity carries directly into the way I build and document systems.
