VLAN Configuration
Configured switch settings, created VLANs, and tested traffic segmentation to strengthen practical networking skills.
Alienware Cooling Repair
Diagnosed a failed AIO cooler, replaced the unit, applied fresh thermal paste, and restored stable system performance.
Memory & Storage Upgrade
Upgraded a PC from 16GB to 32GB of RAM and added a 1TB hard drive to improve speed and capacity.
Electrical Site Check
Helped test ceiling wiring and reviewed whether the location could support a future display installation for a Jumbotron setup.
