As I embark on an exciting transition into the IT field, I have created a home lab to enhance my skills in virtualization, server management, and network configurations.

My lab setup includes the following components:

4U Network Rack

12-Outlet PDU Strip

TP-Link TL-SG1024 24-Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch

24-Port Cat6 Patch Panel

TP-Link AXE5400 Tri-Band WiFi 6E Router

This environment also enables me to expand my knowledge in cybersecurity, allowing me to work on projects like network security and controlled attack simulations. With my CompTIA Security+ certification, these exercises are aligned with my current skillset and training.

I maintain Cat6 Ethernet cable for flexible installations, and my network toolkit ensures my lab remains organized and operates seamlessly. This hands-on experience strengthens my foundation and prepares me for real-world IT challenges.
