Standardized Kubernetes observability platform across RKE2 & OpenShift

Built a standardized Helm-based monitoring platform around Prometheus, Grafana, Thanos and the Kubernetes monitoring ecosystm. The platform was designed to support multiple Kubernetes distributions from a common deployment stragegy.

The project ultimately reached a classified, air-gapped environment at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base during the final week of my internship.

Computer networking, brought into the classrom, with real Cisco equipment

Designed and organized portable Cisco networking lab kits to replace simulated Packet Tracer exercises with hands-on configuration experience.

Each deployment bag contains the routing, switching, cabling, and endpoint hardware needed for students to build, configure, and troubleshoot real network topologies.
