RADICL was built to give students hands-on exposure to defensible network design rather than only abstract security concepts. The work involved segmented architecture, switching and routing decisions, and integrating service monitoring into an environment that could support realistic exercises.
What makes this project important in the portfolio is that it sits between design and operations. It is not just a training asset. It is an example of how infrastructure, pedagogy, and security engineering need to line up for a system to be effective.
