Designing a strong network means finding the right balance between function and simplicity. My coursework helped me understand how to structure systems that run smoothly and securely.

A wired network designed for Maury High School, including outlet placement, cabling, switches, patch panels, and budgeting for all materials and equipment. The project also included a firewall and VLANs to separate staff and student traffic, creating a secure, efficient, and cost-conscious network.
Artifact 2: Home Network Setup (IT315)
A home network designed with a modem, router, and connected devices including a computer, TV, tablet, and phones. The setup demonstrates internet distribution, device roles, and Wi-Fi coverage.
