SOHO Network to Enterprise

This project documents the process of turning a small-office network into something that behaves like a structured enterprise environment. The focus was on moving from ad hoc connectivity to intentional design, cleaner segmentation, and a more supportable layout.

Inside the build

• Created a more disciplined IP addressing plan and organized network boundaries.
• Documented topology, VLAN planning, and device relationships in a form that can actually be supported.
• Focused on practical improvements that make future growth and troubleshooting easier.

Why it matters

It shows how I approach infrastructure upgrades: not just adding gear, but improving maintainability, clarity, and the long-term health of the environment.
