The whole map of my RouterOS competence — and where it ends.

A logo wall tells you which exams I passed. It can't show what I've studied or what I've run in production. This map grades both across every domain of RouterOS (MikroTik's network operating system) and names the one place it ends.

Every domain, on two axes

Each column is one capability domain, sorted by how deeply I've run it in production. The solid bar is what I deploy; the hatched cap above it is what I've studied but not yet run — the gap. Past the break stands the one domain I've mapped in concept and not yet run.

A deep core that steps down, domain by domain.

Where the map ends

The one named frontier

Carrier MPLS, VPLS, and traffic engineering. I hold the concepts — L3VPN route isolation, BGP path attributes, label-switched paths — studied through MTCINE, MikroTik's carrier-networking course. I have not run them in production. Naming that limit before you ask it is the point.

14 capability domains

From device fundamentals to carrier inter-networking — each domain graded topic by topic against MikroTik's official curriculum on two axes, knowledge and deployment, each scored 1 to 5. Depth you can interrogate, not a logo wall.
