Network Design Capstone & Embedded Internship

• Engineered multi-vendor architectures using Cisco routing platforms to deploy OSPF (internal routing) and BGP (external gateway connectivity).
• Eliminated switching loops by implementing Cisco STP topologies, establishing redundant, high-availability failover paths for continuous uptime.
• Automated bulk configurations across multiple core routers using custom Python scripts to execute interface turn-ups and security policy updates.
• Secured network perimeters by deploying Palo Alto Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFW) with strict Zone-Based security policies and ACLs.
• Minimized internal attack surfaces by formulating strict VLAN-based network segmentation across campus switches to isolate departmental traffic.
• Diagnosed protocol anomalies using Wireshark to validate OSPF neighbor adjacencies, verify BGP paths, and analyze TCP handshakes.
• Built scalable lab environments using virtual machines (Windows Server/Linux) to test Active Directory policies and secure SSH controls.
• Authored engineering blueprints detailing comprehensive IPv4/IPv6 subnetting schemas, firewall security rules, and deployment steps.
