Configured RSTP, LACP and VTP on Cisco devices.

Created VLAN and Inter-VLAN routing with Multilayer Switching.

• ACLs management on Switches & Routers and VLAN communications.

• Assisted in design and documentation

ACADEMIC PROJECTS

Ultrasonic Motion Detector: Ultrasonic Range Meter is an efficient way to measure the distance of unreachable obstacle. It was based on sending sound waves through a specific medium and observing the returning echoes to measure the distance from the device to the obstacle. Operated on AT89C51 Microprocessor.

Deploying F5 Big IP: Configured BIG IP on VMware workstation pro. Set up virtual servers and tested traffic in round robin and other load balancing methods with three servers; Red, Blue, Green, Created LTM Nodes and Pools. Created customer facing front end with virtual server. Also, successfully set iRules and implemented HA and SNAT pools on the three local servers.

A* Pathfinding Project: The project dealt with optimization of path for a mobile robot, given a set of source and destination position. It calculated the shortest path given the data about the obstacle beforehand. It was based on the Dijsktra’s Algorithm using Open Shortest Path First (OSPF).

Designed Micro Strip based Rectangular Patch Antenna on ADS: At 10GHz, determined the width and length of the antenna using MATLAB Script, Simulated antenna with the desired resonating frequency, imported the touchstone file on the new schematic to get the optimized desired value of S-parameters.

Implementation of RIP, EIGRP, OSPF and ACL: Simulated multiple network topology routers, switches and hosts using GNS3/Cisco Packet Tracer. Implemented Standard and Extended ACL. Effectively performed troubleshooting between end-to-end sites. Configured Cisco Routers using RIP, OSPF and EIGRP.

Multi-Area OSPF Implementation with VLANs and ACLs and Troubleshooting: Simulated multi-area OSPF using 5 routers and 4 switches. Implemented OSPF authentication schemes, VLANs, Inter-VLAN routing. Performed troubleshooting of various problems related to OSPF routing protocol, STP and 802.1Q.

Remote IPsec VPN: Designed a layout of remote access IPsec tunnel using packet tracer. Used Cisco IOS router to connect with VPN clients. Configured dynamic crypto map to allow IPsec communication process to begin.

Analysing Network Traffic and Protocols (Wireshark): Analysed each packet when the computer connects to the internet, when a new browsing session is started. Analysed the entire IP protocol stack during the communication between a client and the internet. Traced the route from source to the destination

Network Firewall and DMZ: Created topology with the help of GNS3 and configure router and DMZ zone with an ASA firewall. Configured Outside and Inside zone for secure connectivity between Client and Server. For managing the Network Security, created access-lists, object-group and implemented NAT rules like Auto-NAT and Manual After Auto-NAT to configure it within the working topology.

Eligibility: Legally authorised to work in the U.S for any employer

Currently on F1 OPT for a period of 3 years, will need H1B visa sponsorship later.
