NETWORK & SYSTEMS PORTFOLIO

Building practical infrastructure, one system at a time.

I am a network and systems professional developing hands-on experience across infrastructure, security, automation, and homelab operations.

Open to junior infrastructure opportunities and technical collaboration in Canada.

01 / ABOUT

A practical, evidence-led approach to technology.

Neoxix is both my technical portfolio and a developing institutional platform for thoughtful infrastructure work.

My work centres on learning by building: configuring systems, documenting decisions, testing expected behaviour, and diagnosing what does not work. Each project represents current hands-on experience or a clearly labelled learning objective.

I am building toward junior roles where methodical troubleshooting, reliable documentation, and a strong foundation across networks and systems create immediate value.

02 / CORE COMPETENCIES

Foundations for dependable infrastructure.

Current experience developed through study, hands-on labs, and documented personal projects.

01

Networking

Building and troubleshooting routed and switched lab environments with careful documentation and validation.

  • TCP/IP
  • VLANs
  • Routing
  • DNS & DHCP
  • VPN fundamentals
02

Systems

Administering Windows and Linux systems in a controlled lab, with attention to reliable services and repeatable operations.

  • Windows Server
  • Linux
  • Active Directory
  • Virtualization
  • Backup basics
03

Security

Applying foundational hardening, segmentation, access-control, and diagnostic practices to lab infrastructure.

  • Firewall policy
  • Segmentation
  • Access control
  • Log review
  • Hardening
04

Automation

Learning to make infrastructure tasks more consistent through code, scripts, version control, and reusable examples.

  • Terraform
  • PowerShell
  • Bash
  • Git
  • API fundamentals

03 / SELECTED PROJECTS

Learning made visible.

A selection of practical work, shown with transparent status and scope.

01

Neoxix Homelab

Deployed and improving

A personal environment for testing network services, virtualization, system administration, and security controls without overstating production use.

Module development and validation remain in progress

04 / HOMELAB OVERVIEW

A controlled environment for testing, breaking, and understanding.

The Neoxix Homelab supports practical exploration across the infrastructure stack. It is a personal learning environment—not a claim of production-scale operations.

05 / LEARNING ROADMAP

Progress with a clear next step.

Training and certification goals are reported as goals until they are completed and verified.

1

Current focus

CCNA preparation

In progress

Strengthening networking fundamentals through structured study, labs, and troubleshooting practice. No certification is claimed.

2

Next step

Fortinet training

Planned

Planned after the current CCNA preparation phase to deepen firewall and network security knowledge.

3

Continuous

Systems & automation practice

In progress

Continuing practical work with Windows, Linux, scripting, version control, and infrastructure as code.

06 / CONTACT
