About
I completed my postgraduate studies in Cyber Security Analytics at Mohawk College, and I have hands-on experience transforming complex IT environments into secure, resilient systems. My journey bridges academic theory and practical application through innovative projects. With a robust foundation in cybersecurity, I thrive on designing and implementing advanced solutions that enhance threat detection and streamline incident management.
Certificates: CompTIA Security+, CC (ISC2), Microsoft SC-900, Microsoft AZ-900, CISSP (In Progress)
Key Projects (Home Labs):
-> Active Directory Security Homelab: Designed and deployed a comprehensive Active Directory homelab using VirtualBox, Windows Server, Windows 10, an Ubuntu-based Splunk server, and Kali Linux. Configured Active Directory, implemented detailed logging with Sysmon, and simulated attacks using brute-force scenarios and ATR to validate log correlation and incident response mechanisms.
-> SOC Automation Lab: Developed an integrated incident response ecosystem on DigitalOcean by combining Wazuh for SIEM, The Hive for case management, and Shuffle for automating workflows. Simulated real-world threats using Mimikatz, ensuring robust detection and streamlined response across the platform.
-> Cybersecurity Auditing & Risk Assessment (GFC): Conducted a security audit and risk assessment for a financial services firm, identifying vulnerabilities and implementing COBIT-based security improvements. Enhanced IT governance, enforced CIS controls, and developed a business continuity plan to strengthen regulatory compliance and risk management.
