Hi, I'm Chase!
+Digital Systems | Infrastructure | RF Edge Systems +

+ +

+I build real-world systems that combine data, automation, and infrastructure. +From monitoring platforms and dashboards to full infrastructure environments, everything I create is designed to solve practical problems and scale. +

+ +Coding Gorilla + + + +--- + +# 🧠 Ced's NOC System + +👉 **Portfolio Site:** https://chasedumphord.com +👉 **Live NOC Dashboard:** https://noc.chasedumphord.com + +This repository represents a **live Network Operations Center (NOC) system**, not just a static portfolio. + +It showcases: + +* 📊 **Ced's NOC Dashboard** (real system monitoring) +* 🧠 **HomeLab Infrastructure** (HA virtualization, VLANs, services) +* ☸️ **K3s Cluster** (distributed compute) +* 📡 **APRS iGate (RF Edge System)** + +--- + +# 📊 Ced's NOC Dashboard + +A central visibility layer for all systems. + +This dashboard includes real Grafana, Prometheus, and Blackbox Exporter monitoring for live HomeLab services. + +--- + +## 🔍 What it shows: + +* Infrastructure health +* Service availability +* Network segmentation +* RF edge system status + +--- + +## 🧠 Why it matters: + +This demonstrates: + +* System monitoring mindset +* Operational visibility +* Real-world infrastructure awareness +* Ability to translate
