Digital Systems • Infrastructure • Networking • Automation

I build real-world systems that connect hardware, networks, software, and operations.

I’m Chase Dumphord. My work spans digital systems, Linux infrastructure, homelab engineering, Raspberry Pi deployments, networking, automation, and practical technical problem solving.

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

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.

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.
