Print('About Me.')
Welcome to my Digital Resume! I am a cybersecurity professional with a Bachelor of Science in Cybersecurity and Information Assurance from Western Governors University. My journey in cybersecurity is fueled by a deep passion for both defending and testing digital infrastructures, and I am committed to continuous learning and skill development to stay ahead of emerging threats.
I hold several industry-recognized certifications, including CompTIA PenTest+, CySA+, Security+, Network+, A+, ISC2 SSCP, and LPI Linux Essentials, which reflect my dedication to mastering both defensive and offensive security techniques. My expertise spans blue team analyst work, where I focus on protecting systems from evolving cyber threats, and red team ethical hacking, where I uncover vulnerabilities to strengthen security postures.
Through hands-on projects like my Wazuh SIEM Lab and Microsoft Sentinel Live Attack Map, I have developed practical experience in building secure environments, creating custom monitoring solutions, and visualizing cyber threat data in real-time. These projects showcase my ability to analyze threats, automate processes, and leverage cutting-edge tools to enhance security.

echo "PROJECTS";
One of my favorite projects to this day. This project shows the true scale of cyber crime. I Worked within the Microsoft Azure suite to create a vulnerable VM and track the geo-location of failed RDP attempts live and map them to an Azure Sentinel Workbook.
My newest project that I plan to work with indefinitely. I have created a virtual lab with a Linux Wazuh server, a pfSense firewall, and Ubuntu client that is being monitored by the Wazuh SIEM. Stay Connected with me to get updates on new tutorials for this project!
