Small Office 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.

Microsoft Azure Entra ID & Hybrid Cloud Sync

This project focused on configuring Microsoft Azure Entra ID with hybrid cloud sync so on-prem Active Directory environments could connect cleanly to cloud identity services and modern access workflows.

Scope

• Connected on-prem Active Directory to Microsoft Azure Entra ID for synchronized hybrid identity.
• Supported cleaner cloud sign-in flows, directory consistency, and centralized access control.
• Focused on reliable synchronization, user lifecycle management, and practical security administration.

Result

The result was a more modern identity setup that improved cloud integration while keeping core access management tied to a supportable hybrid environment.

Cyber Threat Analysis & Penetration Testing

This project explored enterprise network security from both defensive and assessment perspectives, combining risk awareness with practical review of controls and exposure.

Coverage

• Threat analysis and vulnerability review across an enterprise-style environment.
• Security posture thinking tied to risk management and remediation priorities.
• Documentation that helps turn findings into actionable improvement work.

Device Configurations: DHCP Failover

This project focused on building a DHCP failover design backed by clear network diagrams, device configuration planning, and resilient address management across core infrastructure roles.

Highlights

• Designed DHCP failover around routers, switches, and domain controllers for continuity during service disruption.
• Mapped structured IP planning and device relationships to support cleaner troubleshooting and supportability.
• Focused on redundancy and operational reliability instead of a single-point DHCP setup.

Multi-Campus National Private Network Architecture

This project focused on connecting multiple campuses through a private network architecture that combined Azure cloud networking, Cisco Meraki VPN equipment, enterprise routing, and WLAN design. The goal was secure communication between campuses, centralized visibility, and a structure that could scale statewide and nationwide.

Highlights

• Connected multiple campuses through private-network design using Azure cloud networking and Cisco Meraki VPN infrastructure.
• Planned routing, segmentation, and WLAN architecture to keep inter-campus communication secure and manageable.
• Built the design around scale so additional campuses could be integrated across the state and nationally.

Windows Server & Hypervisor Configuration (AD, DNS, DHCP, NPS & More)

This build centered on configuring a Windows Server environment with the core services businesses depend on for authentication, addressing, policy control, and secure network access.

Implemented services

• Active Directory, DNS, DHCP, Group Policy, and domain-level user and device administration.
• NPS, certificate services, and supporting Windows Server roles used to strengthen access control and service management.
• Structured configuration of server-side services to improve stability, consistency, and long-term supportability.
