Toronto, ON · Graduating April 2026 · Open to junior IT roles

Ivan
Bogdanov.

Computer Systems Technician student at George Brown College (T141), graduating April 2026. I've completed 13 CCNAv7 labs on real Cisco IOS, deployed Windows Server 2025 with full Active Directory from scratch, and built automation that cut manual email work by 70%. Looking for a junior IT or networking role in Toronto where I can contribute from day one.

Things I've Actually Built

01 / 07 Complete

Networking Labs

What it is

13 CCNA labs with full topology diagrams, IOS configs, and addressing tables covering VLANs, OSPF, NAT, ACLs, DHCP, and EtherChannel.

Problem Solved

Limited hands-on Cisco practice outside scheduled lab time — needed a documented, reusable reference for every major CCNAv7 topic.

Active Directory Lab

What it is

Windows Server 2025 AD DS environment — OU hierarchy design, bulk user provisioning from CSV, Group Policy configuration, and full account lifecycle automation.

Problem Solved

Manual user provisioning doesn't scale. Automated the entire onboarding/offboarding cycle via PowerShell — deployable in under 30 minutes.

Windows Helpdesk Toolkit

What it is

6 helpdesk PowerShell tools: system reports, locked account recovery, disk health checks, network diagnostics, and software export — all built for real support scenarios.

Problem Solved

Common helpdesk tasks done manually on every machine. Each tool is standalone and runnable by any technician without setup or dependencies.

IT Support Scripts

What it is

Production-ready cross-platform sysadmin scripts for Windows and Linux — system health checks, log analysis, user audits, and config backups.

GitHub Automation Playground

What it is

CI/CD pipelines and GitHub Actions workflows built to sharpen DevOps fundamentals — linting, matrix builds, auto-labeling, and scheduled jobs.

Problem Solved

No safe environment to learn CI/CD by breaking things. Each workflow is documented with context explaining the design decisions behind it.

AI Notification Workflows

What it is

AI-powered email pipeline: inbox summarizer, weekly digest, FAQ auto-responder, and priority alert router — connecting IMAP/SMTP with OpenAI API via Flask.

Problem Solved

Student org spent ~3 hrs/week manually triaging emails. Reduced that to 30 minutes — a 70% drop in manual handling time.

Network Troubleshooting Journal

What it is

5 real-world Cisco troubleshooting cases with full root cause analysis — covering VLAN mismatches, STP issues, OSPF adjacency failures, and EtherChannel problems.

Problem Solved

Kept hitting the same Cisco fault patterns with no structured reference. Each case documents: symptoms → diagnosis steps → root cause → verified fix.
