Skills in practice

Where these show up on the skills page

Each finished project here backs specific, arrow-marked entries on Skills & Certifications: the self-hosted portfolio covers VLAN segmentation, DMZ isolation, firewall policy, WireGuard VPN, DNS/TLS reverse proxying, systemd automation, and Ansible-driven infrastructure as code, while the Klipper rebuild covers LAN security assessment and host hardening.

The arrow next to a skill on that page means it was applied here, not only studied - that's the project to open if you want to see it in context.
