Digital Systems • Infrastructure • Networking • Automation • Edge Systems
Chase Dumphord infrastructure builder running Proxmox, K3s, TrueNAS, and APRS RF edge systems out of Oxford, MS. I build things that actually work, then document how they work.

// about
I'm a technical professional focused on digital systems, infrastructure, networking, automation, and hands-on system integration. I build things that are practical, reliable, and well-documented from homelab services and live dashboards to Raspberry Pi deployments, APRS iGates, and complex troubleshooting workflows.
My background blends field engineering, industrial technology, and infrastructure problem solving. Increasingly I'm integrating AI tooling using LLMs for system documentation, automated diagnostics, and workflow acceleration as part of how modern infrastructure gets built and maintained.
// projects
Built on real systems. Not demos, not tutorials — running infrastructure.
Full homelab environment built for real network segmentation, service hosting, and architecture documentation.
12-node K3s cluster on Raspberry Pi built to simulate distributed infrastructure and container orchestration at scale.
Operational dual-node RF-to-internet gateway. Decodes real beacon packets and uplinks live to aprs.fi.
// noc roadmap
Staged monitoring and systems-visibility platform built on real infrastructure.
JSON-driven dashboard showing real inventory, online/offline checks, service labels, latency, and last-check timestamps.
Scheduled local scripts will auto-refresh system status and push dashboard-ready JSON on a cron interval — no manual updates.
Full observability stack for Proxmox, TrueNAS, K3s, Raspberry Pi nodes, Uptime Kuma, and APRS edge systems with real-time metrics ingestion.
// tech stack
// resume snapshot
Currently positioning around digital systems, infrastructure, and technical operations especially roles where hands-on problem solving and system integration matter more than certifications.
// github
Active projects on GitHub — source code, configs, and documentation for everything I'm building.
// personal
Outside of work I'm into electronics, self-hosting, coding, drones, ham radio, and hands-on projects that force me to learn something real. Ball pythons and dogs round out the home lab. That curiosity carries directly into how I build and document systems.
