Aspiring Junior Network Administrator with a strong foundation in IP networking, routing protocols (OSPF, BGP), and network services (DNS, DHCP). I transitioned into IT with a passion for understanding how data moves across complex systems, and I have spent the last year building hands-on experience through cloud-based network labs (Containerlab, Cisco Packet Tracer). I am highly proficient in Linux administration and Windows Server environments, with a keen focus on network security best practices.

I thrive on troubleshooting complex connectivity issues and am eager to bring my relentless curiosity and problem-solving mindset to a collaborative IT operations team.

Motivated Network Administration student with hands-on project experience in designing and implementing simulated multi-site network topologies. Proficient in IP addressing, subnetting, static and dynamic routing, and firewall configuration. I have completed extensive lab work using browser-based network emulators, building and breaking networks to understand fault tolerance and performance tuning.

Eager to transition from academic projects to a professional IT environment, bringing a disciplined, analytical approach to network maintenance and security
