Keyword matrix mapped to job-board language. Only CV-grounded items. Lab vs production / work marked carefully — Ansible, Python, and EVPN appear as lab or skills keywords, not as invented production expertise.
| Keyword | Scope | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Routing / switching | Work + lab | Data-center NE; Arista focus at work; lab Juniper EX |
| EVPN / VXLAN | Lab only | Virtualized Arista VxLAN practice; diagrams — not production EVPN claim |
| Linux | Work + lab | Hosts, hypervisors, nginx edge, day-to-day ops |
| Ansible | Lab / skills | Role skeleton sample; not claimed as production orchestration product expertise |
| Python | Lab / skills | NetBox custom-script stub and small tooling; not a software-eng title claim |
| NetBox | Work + lab | IPAM/DCIM source of truth; deploy and upkeep |
| Git / git hooks | Lab / demo | Self-hosted mirror; hook samples for quality gates |
| Observability | Lab (+ transferable theme) | Grafana, Prometheus, Zabbix; lab incident write-up |
| Proxmox / Ceph | Work + lab | Hypervisor and storage deployments; lab multi-node / QDevice |
| GPU host deploy | Work + lab | Bare-metal / hypervisor bring-up; local LLM guests (lab) |
