// ABOUT ME

Who Am I?

Hi, I'm Muhammad Zulazmir bin Azmizam an aspiring Network Engineer focused on bridging physical data center deployment with virtualized enterprise routing, cloud security, and zero-trust telemetry.

During my Diploma Internship at GB Network Solution, I gained hands-on data center experience staging Enterprise‑Grade servers and racking Cisco Catalyst switches real enterprise hardware, not just theory.

Outside of internship work, I run my own home lab built on Proxmox VE, with an OPNsense firewall handling inter-VLAN routing, Cloudflare Zero Trust tunnels for secure remote access, and self-hosted services like Pi-hole and Uptime Kuma which you can explore live via the status link in the header.

I like learning by building things that actually run in production-like conditions.

// INDUSTRY EXPERIENCE

Data Center Operations Internship

Practical hands‑on exposure gained during my Diploma Internship, executing physical server provisioning, rack elevations, and structured cabling with enterprise‑grade vendor hardware.

01

Server Provisioning & Deployment

Diploma Internship

Assisted senior infrastructure engineers with the end-to-end physical deployment and racking of a diverse range of enterprise-grade servers. Gained hands‑on experience across multiple hardware platforms, handling rack space allocation, rail kit installations, storage health verification, OS installation and fine-tuning, and network card assignments.

02

Cisco Switch Staging & Rack Elevation

Diploma Internship

Mounted and cabled Cisco switch hardware and patch panels in live rack units. Executed structured cabling runs (Cat6 & Fiber optic), cable dressing with Velcro bundling, and maintained strict hot/cold aisle thermal compliance.

Engineering & Infrastructure Projects

Core Infrastructure Lab Production Topology

Enterprise‑Grade Virtualized Network Architecture & Security Lab

Designed and engineered an enterprise‑grade virtualized network ecosystem leveraging Proxmox VE, physical Cisco hardware, and OPNsense stateful firewalling. Integrated network‑wide encrypted DNS resolution and strict zero‑trust segmentation.

Segmented Subnets (802.1Q Trunk):

VLAN 10 Wired LAN (High Speed)
VLAN 20 Guest Wi‑Fi (Zero Trust)
VLAN 30 Family Wi‑Fi (Medium Trust)
VLAN 99 Management (Restricted)
Security Feature: DNS‑over‑TLS (Port 853) configured via Pi‑hole LXC container for network‑wide encrypted DNS resolution & malicious domain sinkholing.

Rules of Inference System (AWS Deployment)

Web application developed for CSC510 Discrete Mathematics. Translates natural language into propositional logic expressions and generates step‑by‑step proofs using 8 rules of inference via custom Abstract Syntax Trees (AST) and forward‑chaining.

# Cloud Infrastructure Note:

Configured AWS Amplify single‑page application (SPA) rewrite rules to handle client‑side routing seamless refresh cycles.

Telemetry & Monitoring Live

Public Homelab Uptime & Zero‑Trust Telemetry

Engineered a public monitoring endpoint exposing real‑time homelab service metrics and uptime status. Implemented outbound Cloudflare Tunnels (cloudflared) to eliminate the need for inbound open ports on the firewall.

# Security Architecture:

Inbound firewall ports: 0 Open Ports

Traffic proxied over Cloudflare Zero Trust encrypted tunnel headers.
