I am a cybersecurity professional currently working as a Security Operations Engineer. My experience includes security operations, cloud security, system administration, network security, and security monitoring.
I enjoy working with technologies such as Azure, AWS, Wazuh, Splunk, Docker, Kubernetes, Python, and PowerShell. I am especially interested in security engineering, threat detection, AppSec, cloud security, DevOps, and both Blue Team and Red Team security.
This portfolio highlights some of the projects, labs, and technologies I have worked with while continuing to develop my skills in cybersecurity and cloud engineering.
Built a Windows Active Directory environment to practice domain administration, Group Policy, DNS, DHCP, and user management.
Configured a Wazuh environment and created custom detection rules to identify repeated failed authentication attempts while reducing alert fatigue.
Designed and deployed a cloud-based security monitoring environment within Microsoft Azure. Configured log collection, monitoring, and security analytics to gain visibility into system activity and improve incident detection through centralized logging.
Designed and developed a personal portfolio website to showcase cybersecurity projects, technical skills, certifications, and professional experience. Built from scratch while learning modern web development concepts including HTML, CSS, semantic page structure, and responsive design.
Created a simulated IT Help Desk environment using Spiceworks to practice managing the full ticket lifecycle. Created, assigned, prioritized, updated, documented, and resolved support tickets while practicing real-world IT support and ticket management workflows.
Developed multiple Python applications while learning programming fundamentals, including a Blackjack game, Caesar Cipher encoder and decoder, and Hangman game. Focused on strengthening problem-solving skills through the use of functions, loops, conditionals, lists, and user input validation.
