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

- 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
☸️ 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.
