The professional projects above are kept separate from the work on the rest of this site:

• Reconstructed enterprise network designs
• Networking simulations
• Independent freelance demonstrations
• Personal home labs

No confidential company information, internal configurations, credentials, private network addressing or unsupported performance claims are published on this site.

These are not employer projects. Each entry names what it is: a reconstruction, a simulation, a design exercise, or an independent project.
