Network Engineer / SOC Analyst / Sysadmin
Building, breaking, and securing infrastructure. BCIS grad from UFV with real homelab experience: Proxmox, Active Directory, VLANs, and vulnerability assessments. Ready on day one.
I'm an international student finishing my BCIS at the University of the Fraser Valley, majoring in Networking and Cybersecurity. My education goes well beyond the classroom.
I run a multi-hypervisor homelab on Proxmox VE and XCP-ng, simulating real enterprise environments: Active Directory, GPO baselines, VLAN segmentation, DNS/DHCP, and pfSense firewalls. I use Wireshark daily. I write PowerShell and Python automation that solves real problems.
Two internships gave me real-world reps: 150+ incidents resolved, vulnerability assessments, ServiceNow ticketing, and AD administration. I show up knowing the tools, ready to contribute.
My academic research explores quantum computing applied to wireless network optimization, a sign of where the field is heading and where I want to be.
Multi-hypervisor stack on Proxmox VE and XCP-ng. Windows Server 2019 and Ubuntu VMs with AD DS, GPO baselines, RBAC, DNS/DHCP simulating a 50-user corporate network. VLAN segmentation isolating management, user, and DMZ traffic. Validated with Wireshark captures and pfSense firewall rules.
Bulk AD user management scripts, automated system health reports, incremental backup scheduling. Python network monitor using socket and subprocess to ping hosts, log latency trends, alert on unreachable nodes. Replaced daily manual checks entirely.
This site runs on my own Ubuntu Server via Nginx, tunneled through Cloudflare Tunnel with no exposed ports, no home IP leak. Full HTTPS, DDoS protection. A security-first architecture built from scratch, running 24/7 on homelab hardware.
Academic research at UFV on applying quantum computing algorithms to wireless network optimization, examining how quantum approaches can improve spectrum allocation and routing efficiency in next-gen wireless systems.
