RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT (R&D)
Private Infrastructure Laboratory | Ongoing
Network Engineering: Architected a high-availability network using the UniFi ecosystem (Firewalls, IDS/IPS, managed switches, WAP deployment) to test perimeter security and seamless roaming.
Security & Observability: Deploy and manage full-stack monitoring (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, Dynatrace) and security layers (SIEM, XDR/EDR) to validate threat detection in isolated environments.
Advanced Infrastructure: Manage a multi-hypervisor environment (Proxmox, Hyper-V, ESXi) to test containerized workloads and host open-source AI inference models for evaluation of local data privacy and processing costs.
Service Architecture: Prototyping core services (IAM, GPO, DNS, DHCP) to validate transition paths from legacy systems to modern hybrid clouds.
EDUCATION & CERTIFICATIONS
Professional Development: Continuous training in Cloud Architecture and Cybersecurity Governance.
