01 — About

Passion for
all things tech.

I'm a cybersecurity analyst and recent graduate from Florida International University, where I earned a B.S. in Cybersecurity with a 3.69 GPA, graduating Cum Laude.

Selected for FIU's IC-CAE Intelligence Fellowship under the Cyber Threat Intelligence track, I've worked on vulnerability assessments at the City of Fort Lauderdale and conducted security research at FIU's Applied Research Center using tools like Nmap, Metasploit, and Wireshark.

I'm a US citizen actively building home lab environments and pursuing certifications to deepen my skills in threat hunting, SIEM, and active directory security.

03 — Projects

Things I've
built.

🌍
SIEM / Cloud Lab
Azure Sentinel Attack Map

Built a live attack visualization lab in Microsoft Azure. A custom PowerShell script extracts metadata from Windows Event Viewer, forwards it to a geolocation API, and ingests enriched logs into a Sentinel workbook — displaying global RDP brute-force attempts on a world map.

🖥
Home Lab / Infrastructure
Active Directory Home Lab

Deployed a full AD environment in VirtualBox using Windows Server 2019 as Domain Controller and Windows 10 as client VM. Configured dual adapters, NAT routing, and DHCP. Used PowerShell to bulk-generate 1,000 user accounts for realistic testing.

🧠
Framework / Training
MITRE CALDERA Simulation

Hands-on adversary emulation workshop using the MITRE CALDERA framework as part of FIU's IC-CAE Micro-Credential. Gained practical exposure to ATT&CK-mapped techniques and automated adversary emulation scenarios.
