04 / ENGINEERING EXPERIENCE
Experience behind Nexora.
Anonymized examples of hands-on engineering experience behind this practice.
NETWORK RESILIENCE / GATEWAYSReplacing a gateway under heavy load
Situation A busy office gateway showed sustained high CPU utilization as client demand grew.
Engineering work Assessed capacity, moved to a newer gateway platform, and reviewed VLAN redundancy and uplink monitoring.
Observed result The replacement gateway operated at much lower CPU utilization under comparable office demand.
WIRELESS ACCESS / NACUntangling identity-based Wi-Fi access
Situation Authentication and guest access behavior were causing friction in an enterprise wireless environment.
Engineering work Investigated ClearPass EAP-TLS identity mapping and the guest portal workflow across wireless access components.
Observed result Resolved a macOS “unknown user” authentication issue and restored the guest portal flow.
CLOUD / HYBRID CONNECTIVITYWorking through hybrid network paths
Situation Cloud and on-premises systems depended on predictable private routing and name resolution.
Engineering work Worked on Azure DNS Resolver inbound connectivity and AWS site-to-site VPN with BGP, including MTU considerations.
Scope Routing, VPN behavior, and DNS dependencies across cloud and private networks.
