profile
My degree is taught in English and focuses on network infrastructure, systems design and information security. My main interest is understanding how networks are designed, how traffic moves through them, and how to verify that they are operating as intended.
I learn through practical labs: building topologies, validating configurations, analysing traffic and troubleshooting failures until I can explain the cause and the fix.
engineering focus
The areas I am developing most deliberately.
Security
Focused on practical network security through firewall policy, segmentation, access control and traffic inspection with tools such as Wireshark and Nmap.
Systems & Infrastructure
Working with Linux and virtualized lab environments to configure, test and support infrastructure in a reproducible way.
selected work
Selected work, led by networking and infrastructure projects.
NETDES — Network Design & Troubleshooting
liveA network design and troubleshooting console built around VLANs, 802.1Q trunks, EtherChannel, inter-VLAN routing and spanning tree. Includes an IEEE 802.1D solver that determines the root bridge, port roles and blocked ports from an entered topology.
WNET — Wireless Network Planning
liveA wireless networking console covering RF planning, coverage margin and cell sizing, link budgets, capacity, channel reuse, Wi-Fi security, segmentation and monitoring. Built to connect wireless design calculations with practical network decisions.
Culprit!
team projectA customer-facing Software Engineering project for Chiang Mai University. As Documentation Lead, I manage the SRS, requirements traceability, sprint records, meeting minutes, decision records and test documentation, keeping the project record aligned with the deployed system.
PawSnap
team projectA pet social platform built by a team of three. I authored backend and data-layer work including Firebase Cloud Functions, Firestore security rules, authentication support, notification and counter logic, and service APIs used by the front end.
Pavovival
team projectA 2D side-scrolling survival shooter built with Java and libGDX as a GroupSix Object-Oriented Programming final project. I contributed within a shared team architecture, strengthening my experience with object-oriented design, collaboration and working in an established codebase.
