Open Manet network with Rasbperry Pi's
A mobile ad-hoc network (MANET) using Raspberry Pi's and WiFi dongles to create a decentralized communication system without relying on traditional infrastructure. The project involves setting up multiple Raspberry Pi devices to form a mesh network, allowing them to communicate directly with each other over WiFi. This setup is particularly useful in scenarios where conventional networks are unavailable, such as in remote areas or during emergencies. The MANET was configured to enable dynamic routing, ensuring that data packets could find the most efficient path through the network based on current conditions. This project provided hands-on experience with networking concepts, Linux system administration, and the challenges of maintaining connectivity in a decentralized environment.

House Hold NAS System
A custom-built Network Attached Storage (NAS) system designed to provide centralized data storage and file sharing for a household. The NAS was constructed using a repurposed desktop computer, equipped with multiple hard drives configured in RAID for data redundancy and performance. The system runs on FreeNAS, an open-source operating system tailored for NAS applications, offering features such as user management, file sharing protocols (SMB, NFS), and media streaming capabilities. This project involved setting up the hardware, installing and configuring the FreeNAS software, and optimizing network settings to ensure seamless access from various devices within the home network. The NAS serves as a reliable solution for backing up important files, streaming media content, and facilitating easy file access across multiple platforms.
