I’m a passionate Cybersecurity Analyst with a Master’s of Science in Cybersecurity from Florida International University (FIU), where I gained hands-on experience securing applications, networks, and systems. My expertise spans web penetration testing, incident response, and vulnerability management, complemented by real-world projects that enhance security across various platforms.

Operation Lead at FIU – Housing and Residential Life (2023–2024):

• Managed hybrid cloud environments, Active Directory, and Microsoft 365 services while optimizing performance and maintaining security. Configured and maintained VMware environments and resolved critical network infrastructure issues.

Associate Security Analyst at Mio Meds (2021–2022):

• Supported AWS, Azure, and VMware environments, automated security testing, and triaged security alerts. Collaborated with teams to enforce compliance and reduced incident response time by 30%.

Tools & Technologies: PowerShell, Burp Suite, Wireshark, Metasploit, Docker, AWS Security, Splunk, Sysmon, and more.

Languages: Python, Bash, SQL, Terraform, CloudFormation.

Hack The Box:

• Completed hands-on labs in penetration testing, incident response, and vulnerability exploitation.

TryHackMe:

• Focused on SIEM monitoring, malware reverse engineering, and cloud security.

Active Directory Home Lab Setup (Ongoing):

• Built a comprehensive lab to simulate real-world attacks and defenses in an Active Directory environment. Automated user and group creation using PowerShell scripts and analyzed attack patterns using Sysmon-based logging. Continuously updating the lab with attack vectors and defensive measures.

Secured Network Communications:

• Implemented Single Sign-On (SSO) using Kerberos, LDAP, and DNS to secure network communications in an Active Directory environment.

Facial Recognition Door Unlock System:

• Developed an access control system using Raspberry Pi, machine learning, and network security protocols to ensure robust protection for sensitive areas.

Secure VPN Server on GCP:

• Configured a scalable and secure VPN server on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) for encrypted remote access.

Co-authored a research paper:

Facial Recognition System with Secured Dynamic Implementation and Time Restriction, published by Springer Nature, 2022.
