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

📡 Featured System — APRS iGate (RF Edge)

A real-world RF → Internet gateway built using:

• Raspberry Pi
• Direwolf APRS TNC
• Tuned audio chain (critical for decoding)
• APRS-IS integration

🔗 Project:

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

🔥 Key Insight:

This system bridges:

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