Building With Purpose

From apps to labs, every project here was built with a specific purpose: solving a real problem, learning something new, or both.

Multi-Vendor
Firewall Lab

A hands-on GNS3 lab running Cisco ASAv 9.14, FortiGate-VM64 v7.6.6, and pfSense CE 2.7.2 side by side — each implementing an identical three-zone security policy. Features a cross-vendor IKEv2 IPsec VPN, centralized syslog, and a full comparative analysis of how each platform handles NAT, ACLs, VPN, and logging. Five distinct tunnel failures documented and resolved.

Azure Hybrid
Network Lab

A site-to-site IPsec VPN with eBGP between a GNS3 on-prem FortiGate and a real Azure FortiGate (BYOL marketplace), fronting an nginx workload in a private subnet. Built over the public internet, validated end-to-end with HTTP 200, torn down to $0/month. Seven Azure-specific hurdles documented, including the VirtualNetwork-service-tag gotcha that drops tunnel-sourced traffic by default.

NetAudit
Automation Lab

A multi-vendor network automation toolkit that pulls configs from live Cisco, FortiGate, and pfSense devices, audits them against YAML compliance rules, detects configuration drift via git, and generates Ansible playbooks to remediate gaps. Built in Python with Netmiko and paramiko, tested with 62 unit tests, and validated against a live GNS3 lab.

Campus
Resilience Lab

A three-tier Cisco campus network demonstrating four layers of redundancy: LACP EtherChannels absorb link failures, Rapid-PVST+ selects alternate paths, HSRPv2 fails over the default gateway, and OSPF multi-area reconverges routing. Three failure scenarios documented with 36 screenshots and before/after CLI output.

Delta
Field Ops App

Built as a unified dispatch and ticket management platform for field technicians; a mobile-first PWA installable directly from the browser. Using ServiceNow CSM, Cisco Catalyst Center telemetry, and a Nominatim/OSRM routing pipeline, wired together in a single-file architecture backed by a sessionStorage state machine that tracks technician workflow from dispatch through on-site closure. Built by field techs, for field techs.
