Digital Systems • Infrastructure • Networking • Cybersecurity

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, 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, 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

Featured technical work

APRS iGate System

Featured

Built a dual-node APRS iGate system using Raspberry Pi, Direwolf, APRS-IS, GPS planning, and automated Wi-Fi failover between HomeLab and mobile hotspot connectivity.

  • Direwolf APRS decoding and APRS-IS integration
  • Systemd-managed service automation
  • HomeLab ↔ hotspot failover using nmcli priorities
  • GitHub-documented configs, architecture, and setup

Ced’s HomeLab

In Progress

Ongoing homelab platform focused on infrastructure, monitoring, self-hosting, networking, and practical systems engineering.

  • VLAN-aware architecture
  • Pi-based services and self-hosted tools
  • Documentation-driven build process
  • Future monitoring and dashboard expansion

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.

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.
