Engineering Projects & Labs
Hands-on Service Provider labs, network design studies, and automation workflows. These projects document what I build, how I validate it, and the decisions behind it. Security and AI-assisted research support the engineering process.
A reproducible Service Provider study platform for routing, VPN services, and failure testing. Master, Inter-AS, and SRv6 profiles include generated topologies, validation tooling, and documented operating procedures.
IOS XR lab automation for repeatable configuration changes and operational evidence. Includes Jinja2 templates, Ansible workflows, state collection, pyATS validation scaffolding, and GitHub Actions CI/CD.
An independently developed Junos/vMX platform aligned with public JNCIE-SP objectives. Deterministic topology generation, IS-IS baselines, and routing-policy exercises support study and troubleshooting; full-profile runtime acceptance remains pending. Unaffiliated with Juniper’s official exam lab.
A Python desktop tool for subnet planning and visual subnet maps, including RFC 3021 /31 and RFC 6164 /127 point-to-point planners. Calculation logic is separated from the interface and covered by unit tests.
A campus connectivity study covering fiber uplinks, switching, firewall high availability, and segmentation, with resiliency and capacity trade-offs.
A reusable Ubuntu automation host for EVE-NG. Follow the golden-image build, QCOW2 conversion, tooling choices, and lab integration.
