About Edison Lin
Hi, I’m Edison, a Computer Information Systems major specializing in Cybersecurity. I’m passionate about hands-on learning, and I’ve built and managed my own VMware ESXi homelab to gain real-world experience with virtualization, network security, and IT infrastructure.
I thrive on tackling technical challenges and continuously expanding my skills. In my homelab, I’ve configured advanced network environments, including Cisco Meraki, UniFi Networks, VPNs, and VLAN segmentation for improved security and performance. My projects include:
- Setting up Cloudflare Tunnel and Access with Okta IdP for Zero Trust remote access
- Establishing secure site-to-site VPN connections with Cisco Meraki
- Maintaining Cisco MX250 firewall appliance for home network
- Deploying Cloudflare Load Balancers for Bosch Conettix systems
- Installing and maintaining CAT6 cabling for network devices and PoE cameras
- Administering UniFi Protect with RAID5 storage for surveillance systems
- Maintaining Bosch, Sur-Gard, and DMP receivers for monitoring applications
- Managing Cisco switches via WebUI and keeping firewall systems regularly updated
- Operating a Windows Server 2022 Domain Controller with Active Directory
- Deploying Apache Guacamole for secure, browser-based remote desktop access
- Set up Cisco VG224, Cisco SPA112/122, and PolyCom Obi202 for VoIP operations.
I believe in staying current with the latest security practices through regular patching, updates, and hands-on experimentation. If you want to connect or learn more about my experience, check out my LinkedIn.
