Emerging cybersecurity professional focused on Identity & Access Management, Microsoft enterprise technologies, cloud infrastructure security, systems administration, automation, and practical security engineering.
About
I am completing an Associate of Science in Cybersecurity and Network Engineering Technology with a focus on cloud infrastructure security. My work spans Windows and Linux administration, packet analysis, enterprise policy, automation, network security, and secure infrastructure.
I am especially interested in identity: how users, devices, applications, and services prove who they are, what they are allowed to access, and how those decisions can be made securely at enterprise scale. My next professional step is to deepen my experience in IAM, Microsoft 365, Entra ID, and cloud security while continuing to build a strong systems and networking foundation.
Long term, I want to become a trusted technical expert and independent consultant capable of working across complex, international environments.
Areas of focus
My portfolio is organized around the work I want to keep doing—not a generic list of every technology I have touched.
01
Authentication, authorization, directory services, access control, least privilege, SSO, MFA, RBAC, and identity lifecycle concepts.
02
Windows and Linux administration, Microsoft 365, infrastructure security, system hardening, virtualization, and operational resilience.
03
Packet analysis, secure remote access, network segmentation, cryptography, PKI concepts, security controls, and technical documentation.
Selected work
These summaries intentionally omit challenge flags, answer keys, credentials, and sensitive lab details.
Analyzed packet captures to isolate suspicious communication patterns, identify anomalous endpoints, narrow relevant traffic ranges, and document evidence supporting the investigation.
Tools: Wireshark, PCAP analysis, TCP/IP, filtering, technical reporting
Implemented centralized workstation and user controls in an Active Directory environment using Group Policy, including auditing, configuration restrictions, browser policy, location controls, and taskbar behavior.
Tools: Active Directory, Group Policy, Windows Server, auditing, enterprise configuration
Configured and hardened Linux services, worked with SELinux and firewall rules, managed NFS services, used containers, and developed Ansible automation with variables, handlers, inventory groups, validation, and custom facts.
Tools: RHEL, Ansible, SELinux, firewalld, NFS, containers, Bash
Enumerated a lab network, identified exposed hosts and services, reviewed administrative interfaces, documented observations, and communicated security implications without publishing exploitable lab specifics.
Tools: network enumeration, service discovery, browser-based administration, security documentation
