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://ced4568.github.io/ced-portfolio
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.
🔍 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
🧠 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
