About

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

I’m a technical professional focused on digital systems, infrastructure, networking, and cybersecurity. I enjoy building systems that are practical, reliable, and well documented — from APRS iGates and Raspberry Pi deployments to homelab services, automation, 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 secure design.

### Core Focus Areas

- Linux systems and service management
- Networking, VLANs, failover, and connectivity troubleshooting
- Raspberry Pi and edge-device deployments
- Digital systems and infrastructure documentation
- Cybersecurity fundamentals and secure system design

Projects

## Real Systems I’ve Built

### 📡 APRS iGate System

Dual-node APRS iGate system built with Raspberry Pi, Direwolf, GPS, and network failover. Integrates RF systems into IP infrastructure and HomeLab environment.

- Linux + systemd services
- Network failover (WiFi ↔ hotspot)
- Hardware + software integration
- Documented architecture + system flow

### 🧠 Ced’s HomeLab

Personal infrastructure lab focused on networking, monitoring, virtualization, and self-hosted services.

- VLAN segmentation
- Proxmox virtualization
- Service hosting + monitoring
- System architecture design

Coming Soon →

### ☸️ K3s Cluster

Multi-node Kubernetes cluster built for container orchestration, service deployment, and infrastructure experimentation.

- Multi-node cluster setup
- Containerized workloads
- Service deployment
- Infrastructure automation

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, and cyber-adjacent technical work — 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, and hands-on technical projects that push me to learn something useful. That curiosity carries directly into the way I build and document systems.
