Hybrid Identity

Hybrid Identity Infrastructure Lab

I designed and deployed a hybrid identity environment with Active Directory, Microsoft Entra ID, Entra Connect synchronization, hybrid device join, and LDAP-based authentication into a centralized ITSM platform

GLPI ITSM Lab

Ticketing Systems

Designed and deployed a GLPI ITSM platform integrated with Active Directory to better understand enterprise help desk workflows, centralized authentication, ticket operations, and role-based access control concepts.

DNS and Service Design

Split DNS with AdGuard and Bootstrap Resilience

Reworked DNS responsibilities so infrastructure devices were not fully dependent on the same internal DNS stack they needed in order to recover or boot correctly.

AdGuard Home DNS Resilience Dependency Mapping
Network Segmentation

VLAN Segmentation and Access Control Design

Designed a segmented homelab network with management, services, clients, IoT, and lab VLANs, then applied narrow Layer 3 access rules instead of broad trust between networks.

Web and Edge Access

Cloudflare, Reverse Proxy, and Public Service Exposure

Published selected services behind Cloudflare and reverse proxying while separating public access from internal management paths and validating the correct upstream targets.

Observability

Metrics Node Hardening and Visibility Improvements

Audited a monitoring node with multiple exposed services, improved visibility and management access patterns, and extended diagnostics through a Raspberry Pi jump box and read-only AI-assisted analysis.

Remote Access

Raspberry Pi Management Jump Box

Built a dedicated management node to provide redundant remote access, internal troubleshooting capability, and a safer path for administration when primary tooling is unavailable.

Professional Buildout

Dual-Domain Email Authentication and Identity Design

Configured separate homelab and professional domains with Google Workspace and implemented SPF, DKIM, and DMARC to ensure secure, authenticated, and reliable email delivery.

Remote Access

Secure Remote Access Design with Tailscale and WireGuard.

Designed a secure remote access solution using Tailscale (WireGuard-based) with subnet routing to access internal networks without public exposure.

Networking Fundamentals

End-to-End Packet Flow Analysis Across a Segmented Network.

Traced how traffic moves from a client VLAN to an internal service through DNS resolution, switching, routing, VLAN tagging, and ACL evaluation to build a stronger troubleshooting model.
