This certificate marks the completion of my internship at the Internet Communication and Network (ICN) Laboratory, Faculty of Computer Science, Universitas Brawijaya, where I worked as a Network Engineer Intern. During the internship, I gained hands-on experience in enterprise networking, network configuration, routing and switching, and troubleshooting while participating in laboratory activities and technical projects. The experience strengthened both my theoretical understanding and practical skills, giving me a deeper appreciation of how reliable network infrastructure is designed, deployed, and maintained in real-world environments.
It was quite the journey. I started the internship knowing very little about networking, and by the end of it, I had built a solid foundation that I continue to build on today. Don't get me wrong, there are still plenty of things that confuse me. Networking has a way of reminding you how much there is left to learn. But I suppose that's part of the fun. Every protocol, every troubleshooting session, and every mistake became another opportunity to understand the bigger picture.
Outside the lab, life wasn't exactly slowing down. Coursework was becoming increasingly demanding, extracurricular activities took up much of my time, and there was plenty happening in my personal life as well. Learning to balance everything was a challenge in itself, but looking back, it was worth every bit of effort. If I had to point to the moment my academic journey truly began to take shape, this internship would be it.
