MODULE_01 // AI-NETOPS
🤖

NetClaw / OpenClaw

AI-assisted operational tooling for network infrastructure. LLM-integrated workflows via Claude Sonnet targeting Cisco Catalyst 8000 IOS XE on DevNet. Enforces ITIL change management — requires a change ticket before any config is applied. MCP-based tool dispatch with audit logging.

Active — claude-sonnet-4-6
MODULE_02 // PYTHON
📡

Network Reachability Checker

Stdlib-only Python tool that replaces manual ping sweeps. Reads a CSV device inventory, validates IPs, executes cross-platform pings, and writes timestamped results — the same logic behind SolarWinds NCM pre-change validation, built from first principles.

Week 1 — 100-Day Challenge
MODULE_03 // LOAD BALANCING
⚖️

F5 BIG-IP LTM Lab

Hands-on F5 BIG-IP LTM lab covering virtual servers, pools, health monitors, persistence profiles, SSL offload, SNAT, and traffic engineering. Migration planning workflows, reliability validation runbooks, and production-style documentation aligned with enterprise load-balancing environments.

Active — AWS Lab
MODULE_04 // API INTEGRATION
🚗

Tesla Fleet API

OAuth integration and telemetry workflows using Python and secure credential management on macOS. Demonstrates API integration patterns applicable to enterprise infrastructure automation. Sanitized telemetry artifacts published to GitHub Pages.

Lab — OAuth + Telemetry
