John Sam-Bruce. CCNA certified. Networks people can depend on. A conceptual animation shows a packet taking an alternate route after a link interruption.

I’m a B.S. Computer Science student at William Paterson University, with expected graduation in May 2027. I troubleshoot campus connectivity and design, configure, and verify networks in EVE-NG.

⌁ A little context

jsb@lab:~$ cat purpose.txt

I want to help organizations keep services available,
protect connectivity, and make networks more resilient.

Next chapter → Python development and network automation.

▣ Inside the lab

FEATURED PROJECT · EVE-NG LAB

Connecting network areas, exchanging routes, and checking what the routers actually learned.

OSPF EIGRP Cisco IOS EVE-NG


Evidence: Saved outputs show FULL neighbor adjacencies and learned inter-area and external routes.

Topology · Configurations · Verification outputs

◇ Experience, with context

ON CAMPUS

Working with real users

Connectivity troubleshooting, VLANs, Cisco switch-port configuration and verification, and shadowing network engineers.

IN EVE-NG

Designing and validating networks

Routing, switching, redundancy, network services, security controls, and failover practice in lab environments.

◈ My networking toolkit

Lab practice and study

Area Technologies and practice
Routing & switching OSPF · EIGRP · BGP · redistribution · summarization · VLANs · 802.1Q · STP/RSTP · EtherChannel/LACP · inter-VLAN routing
Availability & services HSRP · VRRP · redundant switching · failover testing · DHCP / relay · DNS · NAT / PAT
Security & visibility ACLs · port security · DHCP snooping · Dynamic ARP Inspection · Palo Alto firewall labs · SNMP · Syslog · SolarWinds exposure
