# 🧠 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:

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

# 🏗️ System Architecture Focus

This portfolio demonstrates:

- Infrastructure design  
- Monitoring and observability  
- RF system integration  
- Network segmentation (VLANs)  
- Linux service management  
- Real system deployment (not simulated)  

---

# 📡 Edge Systems (Differentiator)

Most portfolios show apps.

This one shows:

👉 Live edge systems feeding real data

- APRS iGate feeds RF data into infrastructure  
- Represented inside NOC dashboard  
- Bridges physical → digital systems  

---

# 📈 Roadmap
