Phillips Nozil

Network Administrator

I design, secure, and support the networks organizations run on, from campus switch stacks and firewalls to multi-site WANs spanning six states. I never back down from a problem I haven't seen before, and I usually crack it the same day.

Based in Philadelphia. Working wherever the network is.

        
I've designed and deployed secure networks for clients across six states, and I manage them remotely day to day. I travel for on-site builds, cutovers, and events anywhere in the U.S.

// about

        
The network is my thing

        
I design, secure, and run networks: switch stacks, firewalls, servers, and the traffic analysis that keeps them healthy. I also build the machines the network runs on, assembling PCs, workstations, servers, and full homelabs from bare components and knowing every part inside and out. My own homelab runs website hosting, VPN tunneling, and DNS filtering.

        
Most of what I do I taught myself. University gave me the fundamentals, but I learn by getting my hands on the gear, breaking things, and figuring them out. I engineer redundancy into everything I build, which is why I rarely get a callback: the work holds. And I never back down from a challenge, so drop me into a problem I've never seen and I'll crack it, usually within the same hour or day.

        
Today I run Nozil Intelligence Technologies, an AV/IT integration firm, support IT for Edu-Tech and MSLS Partners, and administer the network at Church of God Worship Center, all while finishing my IT networking degree at Penn State and working toward my CCNA.

// services

      
What I build and support

      
End-to-end IT infrastructure: planned, installed, secured, documented, and monitored after go-live.

      

        
        
        

        

          
          
Network design & deployment

          
LAN/WAN architecture for businesses and homes on Cisco, Juniper, and EnGenius gear, consoling in to configure switches, VLANs, and routing from the ground up.

        

        

          
          
Security & network hardening

          
I write firewall rules, segment traffic, and pressure-test networks the way an attacker would, finding weak switch authentication and exposed credentials before someone else does.

        

        

          
          
Traffic analysis & troubleshooting

          
Deep packet inspection with Wireshark to trace latency, packet loss, and misconfigurations down to the exact frame.

        

        

          
          
Servers, hosting & sysadmin

          
I self-host this site and others on enterprise-grade servers I manage myself: Linux administration, UPS and power planning, and scripting that automates the routine work.

        

        

          
          
PC, workstation & server builds

          
I build machines from bare components, from high-performance workstations to rack servers, and know their ins and outs down to the last part: specs, assembly, cooling, and tuning.

        

        

          
          
Homelab design & builds

          
Custom homelabs for clients and my own: I run mine for website hosting, VPN tunneling, and DNS filtering, all built with redundancy so services stay up.

        

        

          
          
Web development & hosting

          
Custom, fast websites built from scratch and hosted on my own infrastructure, this site included, end to end from code to DNS.

        

        

          
          
Remote monitoring & support

          
RMM monitoring, automated patching, and help desk support that catches problems before users ever feel them.

        

        

          
          
IP surveillance & smart buildings

          
Isolated camera and NVR networks built for continuous uptime, plus legacy buildings modernized onto secure IP systems.

        

        

          
          
AV-over-IP networks

          
Where it's needed, converged networks with QoS tuned for Dante and AES50 audio, video, and live streaming on shared infrastructure.
