I'm an IT professional with close to 4 years of hands-on IT experience across endpoint management, identity and access, AV systems, ticket triaging, escalation, vulnerability management, secure enterprise operations, and other technical experience that I can use to build secure, reliable and user-focused IT environments.

I'm pivoting to Cybersecurity, so here's my portfolio of projects! Thanks for taking a look :)

Skills: MS Azure, MS Sentinel SIEM, Log Analytics, KQL
Project Documentation: GitHub Link

Description: A decoy network used to trap and analyze/study malicious attack traffic. On Microsoft Azure, I set up a Virtual Machine and a Virtual Network in an isolated resource group (sandbox) and then ran Win 10 on that VM. Turned off all the firewalls, and exposed the machine to the internet. Then logged hundreds of thousands of unsuccessful connection attempts from all around the world.

Beloit Powerhouse — Independent Project
Project Deliverable: AV System Instructional Guide (2 pages) | GitHub Link

Description: Spearheaded the usability overhaul of Weissberg Auditorium’s AV system, resolving long-standing functionality issues at the request of the student union director at Beloit Powerhouse. Reorganized and optimized AV hardware layout, implementing cable management, equipment labeling, and seamless integration of Crestron controls systems. Authored a comprehensive two-page AV System User Guide and contributed it to campus IT knowledge base, improving accessibility and reducing support requests by 90%.
