# About me

Hello, my name is Daniel Luu and I'm a networking and cyber security enthusiast with over 4 years of experience in the IT field.<br>

Early in the career, I worked for a small business which provides IT support and SOHO network implementation for other local business such as law firm, dental offices, family care offices, etc. I deployed and configured Cisco 300/350, 1000 series, TP-Link switches and wireless access points. The network design is simple with no redundancy to keep the cost-low; one router, one switch (8-16 ports are quite enough), one or two or three access points depends on the client need. I implement LACP and trunk ports between the router and the switch for redundancy, VLANs and ACLs are also configured to segment internal, guest and management networks to provide simple security. In short, it's router-on-the-stick design.

This experiences shaped my interest in network and somewhat cybersecurity.

I stay current by regularly reading news and posts on Dark Reading CSO online and Reddit networking group. which provide timely insights into industry trends, emerging threats, and best practices that I can implement.

This portfolio showcases the works and experiments I've undertaken, driven by my deep interest and curiosity in both digital and physical networking and cyber security.

I love diving into challenges, researching solutions, and solving problems—it’s what drives me.
