MEET THE FOUNDER
Chase Dumphord
Founder, RootNode Academy | Aerospace DevOps & Platform Engineer
Built from a real technology lab
Operating servers, networks, virtualization, Raspberry Pi clusters, containers, Kubernetes, electronics, microcontrollers, and drones shaped RootNode’s practical approach.
The founding idea
Learners should have the opportunity to understand technology by actually building it from the root up.
The teaching standard
Build, break, troubleshoot, validate, and explain. The goal is durable technical judgment, not passive completion.
