I'm a 17 year old CCNA-certified self-taught Datacenter Networking and reverse engineering enthusiast and I have a deep interest in the underlying hardware that makes today's datacenter backbones possible.

My primary focus and career goal is Data Center Network Engineering.

Networking is what I learn for real, but I also mess around with IDA and Claude Code for reverse engineering of software and research.

Recently I mostly switched from learning in my physical lab, to doing everything in my a lot more modern environment on my MacBook. I now run Arista cEOS using Containerlab in a ARM64 VM in OrbStack. This setup is unimaginably more efficient than an old Dell R710 and physcial hardware.

Currently my projects and learning interests include:

• Modern approach to networking with Arista cEOS, OrbStack and Juniper cRPD
• Network automation and IBN with Ansible, Jinja2 templates and Netbox as a Single Source of Truth
• Spine-Leaf architecture which I have already implemented in my lab
• EVPN VXLAN which I'm also learning about
• Hardware architecture, packet processing inside switching engines, TCAM memory and hardware level restrictions for RIOT
