# Alexa Amundson
**Network Engineer**
amundsonalexa@gmail.com | [github.com/blackboxprogramming](https://github.com/blackboxprogramming)

## Summary
Connecting 7 nodes across 3 physical locations with zero open ports. Built a multi-layer network: WireGuard mesh for encryption, Cloudflare tunnels for zero-trust access, RoadNet WiFi mesh for local coverage, and Pi-hole DNS for control.

## Experience
### BlackRoad OS | Founder & Network Engineer | 2025Present
**The Layers: Defense in Depth**
- Layer 1 — WireGuard mesh VPN (10.8.0.x): encrypted tunnels between all nodes. Every packet between nodes is encrypted, period
- Layer 2 — Cloudflare tunnels (4 active): 48+ domains routed to fleet with zero open ports. External traffic never touches a public IP
- Layer 3 — Tailscale overlay (9 peers): management access from anywhere. MagicDNS for node resolution. Exit nodes for remote debugging
- Layer 4 — RoadNet WiFi mesh: 5 APs on non-overlapping channels, 5 subnets, NAT, auto-failover — local devices talk to fleet directly
**The DNS: Names, Not Numbers**
- Pi-hole for ad blocking and local DNS resolution. PowerDNS Docker for custom authoritative zones
- Custom DNS zones: .cece, .blackroad, .entity, .soul, .dream — edge services discoverable by domain name within the network
- 48 Nginx reverse proxy sites with health checking — each domain routes to the right backend on the right node
