Professional Experience:
W-Technology
Installed and configured a small business network with a Cisco ISR 2911, and a Catalyst 2960. Configuration included providing Internet access (via a HWIC-1ADSL card), device segregation via VLANs and ACL's, as well as basic QoS for both VoIP devices and WiFi access.
The Cosgrove Partnership LLP
Provided guidance, assistance, as well as installation, networking and other services, including full-disk encryption, investigation into & subsequent decommissioning of an old server as well as old client machines, secure destruction of confidential computer files, and physical destruction of old hard drives.
Other Experience

Computer Systems & Networking
My internal network currently consists of a Cisco ISR 2911, Catalyst 3560G Multilayer Switch, and an Aironet 1141N running an autonomous image. Configuration includes Internet access via PPPoE, Private-VLAN's, ACL's, Dynamic Routing via EIGRP, TACACS authentication, 802.1x authentication via FreeRADIUS for a trusted WiFi Network, as well as standard WPA2-Personal for a Guest Network.
Also running a 3-host VMware ESXi cluster for learning: Dell R310, R420, and an Intel NUC7i5-BNH: VMs include, but are not limited to Windows Server for Active Directory/ Certificate Services, an NMS for centralised syslog storage & SNMP monitoring, and OpenVPN for remote access to my internal network.
Other hardware includes 4x Raspberry Pi's, running a collection of DHCP (ISC), DNS (Bind9 master/slave/dns-over-tls), TACACS and FreeRADIUS. As you can see from the picture, I also have a collection of older Cisco routers, switches, and a 2U case containing two mITX server systems, one running FreeNAS 11 (~20TB) providing both iSCSI storage for ESXi as well as fileshares over SMB and NFS, all contained within a 24U, 4 post open frame rack
