Network Discovery & Topology Mapping
Python-based tool for live host scanning and interactive relationship visualization. Built at Earth Telecommunication (2013–2015).
Earth Telecommunication lacked centralized network documentation. Maps were scattered across spreadsheets and engineer memory, complicating incident resolution for over 500 accounts.
Built a Python tool to scan live hosts using ICMP and SNMP sweeps, then aggregated device relationship data into structured JSON. The output rendered as an interactive JS/HTML topology graph enabling real-time component isolation and data-path tracing during incidents. Scanner aggressiveness was tuned per subnet to balance completeness against network load.
Enabled real-time component isolation and data-path tracing during network incidents, reducing Mean Time to Resolution (MTTR). Engineers visually isolated faulty segments in seconds rather than tracing cables manually. The tool became the de facto reference for incident triage across the NOC team.
