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

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

🚀 Currently building data dashboards & system monitoring tools
🖥️ Running a full homelab (Proxmox, Kubernetes, Docker)
⚙️ Focused on automation, infrastructure, and real-world systems
🧠 Ask me about Raspberry Pi clusters, K3s, or system design
📫 Reach me: [email protected]
⚡ Fun fact: I have ball pythons 🐍 along with dogs

🧠 Ced’s Portfolio System

👉 Live Site: https://chasedumphord.com

This repository represents a live system portfolio, not just static projects.

It showcases:

📊 Ced’s NOC Dashboard (live system monitoring)
🧠 HomeLab Infrastructure (Proxmox, VLANs, services)
☸️ K3s Cluster (distributed compute)
📡 APRS iGate (RF Edge System)

📊 Ced’s NOC Dashboard

A central visibility layer for all systems.

Live: noc.chasedumphord.com

🔍 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

🖼️ Live Dashboard Preview

📊 Metrics Overview

🖥️ Systems Overview

🔴 Live System Status

🔴 Live NOC Dashboard: noc.chasedumphord.com

🧠 Featured System — Ced’s NOC (Network Operations Center)

A real-time monitoring and observability platform built on top of my homelab infrastructure.

🔍 What it demonstrates:

Live system monitoring (services, nodes, edge systems)
Infrastructure visibility across VLANs and clusters
Custom dashboard UI (portfolio + operational view)
Service health tracking (latency, uptime, status)
Real data ingestion (not simulated)

⚙️ Stack:

Python (health checks / data generation)
JSON API (status feed)
JavaScript (dynamic UI rendering)
Future: Grafana + Prometheus integration

👉 This is the core system that ties everything together.

🧱 Foundation — Ced’s Home Lab (Infrastructure + Monitoring)

Real-world environment used to simulate production systems and host services.

Proxmox virtualization platform
K3s Kubernetes cluster (Raspberry Pi)
TrueNAS storage system
Nginx Proxy Manager (external access layer)
VLAN segmentation (Main / IoT / HomeLab / Guest)
Monitoring stack (Grafana, Prometheus, Uptime Kuma)

👉 The NOC dashboard is built directly on top of this environment.

📡 Edge System — APRS iGate (RF → Internet Gateway)

A real-world RF system that feeds live data into infrastructure.

Raspberry Pi + Direwolf APRS TNC
Audio chain tuning (critical for decode accuracy)
APRS-IS integration
Real beacon ingestion from handheld radios

🔗 Project: https://github.com/ced4568/ceds-aprs-igate

🔥 Key Insight

This system bridges:

RF (radio signals) → Digital Infrastructure → Internet (APRS-IS)

🎯 Key Tuning Insight

Target audio level: ~50–60
Too high → clipping / decode failure
Too low → missed packets

This was tuned using:

Direwolf audio level output
Real beacon testing from handheld radios
