I’m a final-year Integrated MEng student in Computer, Informatics & Telecommunications, and I enjoy turning networking theory into hands-on results. I’ve worked in university networks and labs installing structured LAN cabling, restoring wired connectivity, and supporting reliable day-to-day operations through practical switch/router configuration and endpoint upgrades. I’m also interested in security and detection: I’ve built multi-device SOC-style components for simulated environments and I’m developing an SDN-focused machine-learning workflow for identifying malicious behavior such as DoS/DDoS and adversarial scenarios. I’m Cisco Networking Academy trained, comfortable with tools like MikroTik, Wireshark, Packet Tracer, and I actively apply Python, FastAPI/Flask, and REST APIs when building network-aware projects.
