Networking & Infrastructure
Network Infrastructure
Managed Network Topology
Managed network topology showing the gateway, multi-gigabit switching, Power over Ethernet infrastructure, Wi-Fi access points, Omada controller, connected clients, and BatPi Linux server.
Additional view of the network equipment, cabling, and physical infrastructure supporting the lab.
Networking Projects
VLAN Segmentation
Configured VLAN segmentation for trusted and IoT devices, including controlled communication between network segments.
Pi-hole DNS
Active Pi-hole DNS filtering service supporting network clients and processing thousands of DNS queries while blocking unwanted domains. Housed in 3D printed enclosure with cooling fan and LED lighting.
IPv6 Deployment
Worked with IPv6 prefix delegation, Router Advertisements, SLAAC, RDNSS, stable server addressing, ICMPv6, and Neighbor Discovery.
DNS Troubleshooting
Used ping, dig, nslookup, Test-NetConnection, tcpdump, Pi-hole query logs, and firewall inspection to diagnose and correct IPv6 DNS failures.
Systems & Virtualization
ARM Linux Home Server
Raspberry Pi 5 running Debian Linux with remote monitoring, storage, networking, service administration, and system-health management.
Hyper-V Lab
Hyper-V lab containing Windows Server, Windows 11, Ubuntu, and Rocky Linux virtual machines for administration, networking, recovery, and troubleshooting practice.
Active Directory & DNS
Windows Server 2025 configured with Active Directory Domain Services, DNS, and file and storage services for domain administration, authentication, permissions, and network services.
Windows & Linux Administration
Hands-on administration using PowerShell, Bash, SSH, services, logs, permissions, networking tools, recovery tools, and automation.
Hardware & Installation
Custom PC Build
Custom Windows 11 Pro workstation built with an AMD Ryzen 7 7700X, DDR5 memory, NVMe storage, dedicated Radeon graphics, and hardware virtualization support.
Raspberry Pi Server Hardware
Raspberry Pi 5 ARM Linux server equipped with NVMe storage, wired Ethernet, and DNS filtering, shared storage, backups, monitoring, printing, remote administration, stored in custom encloser for nvme and Poe hat.
Ethernet Cabling & Backhaul
Installed and terminated shielded Cat6A Ethernet cabling for wired network connections and wireless access-point backhaul. Tested conductor continuity, pin mapping, and shield grounding with a network cable tester.
