Role: Junior Network Engineer / Computer Systems Student Focus: CCNA-level Networking + Cloud Deployments Ops: CI/CD + Incident/Problem Solving

Building reliable networks — and the software that runs on them.

I’m an IT Systems student based in Toronto, Ontario with hands-on experience in Python development, cloud security basics, Docker deployments, CI/CD pipelines, and CCNA-level routing & switching. I like projects where networking and automation meet: monitoring, deployment, reliability, and secure access.

About

Snapshot

  • IT Systems student (Expected Graduation: June 2026) at George Brown College.
  • Hands-on with Python, Docker, CI/CD (GitHub Actions/Jenkins), and cloud basics (AWS IAM/S3, ACLs).
  • Comfortable with CCNA-level routing & switching, network design, Packet Tracer labs, and troubleshooting.
  • Enjoys combining automation + network operations for faster, safer deployments.
Networking Linux Windows Server Virtualization AWS SIEM Fundamentals Incident Response

What I build

  • Reliable services with deployment pipelines and containerization.
  • Network designs for SOHO and enterprise scenarios, aligned to client needs.
  • Monitoring & logging habits—thinking in signals, incidents, and root cause.
  • Security basics applied pragmatically (least privilege, access control, segmentation).
This site is intentionally “networking-themed”: animated topology, terminal readouts, and a packet counter to reflect how I think when troubleshooting—visibility first.
