PROJECTS
Enterprise WAN & Data Center "All Tech" Lab
December 2025
Designed and deployed a multisite WAN environment in GNS3 using MPLS L3VPN, VRFs,
BGP, OSPF, IS-IS, EIGRP, ASA IPsec VPNs, and multitiered data center switching.
Modeled real-world enterprise and cloud-integrated architectures to deepen expertise
in segmentation, routing design, traffic engineering, and security
Completed a 360° networking upskilling initiative, mastering service provider,
enterprise, and security technologies through hands-on design, implementation, and
troubleshooting
Validated multi-site on-prem/cloud network architectures by designing and deploying
an enterprise-grade WAN lab featuring MPLS L3VPN, VRF segmentation, multi-protocol
routing (BGP/OSPF/IS-IS), and data center switching
Built and troubleshot end-to-end connectivity across complex topologies, using
packet-level analysis (Wireshark), ASA packet-tracer, and structured traceroute
methodology to isolate forwarding, convergence, and security-policy issues
