Aspiring System Administrator | Security Operations Enthusiast
I’m an IT student passionate about enterprise infrastructure and security hardening. I focus on building resilient systems, automating administrative tasks, and understanding the “why” behind network vulnerabilities. I’m exploring cybersecurity roles where I can leverage infrastructure expertise like IAM, SOC analysis, and cloud security.
- Active Directory: Building forest/domain structures, GPO hardening, and identity management.
- Security Research: Traffic analysis with Wireshark and threat modeling in virtualized environments.
- Automation: Leveraging PowerShell and Bash to streamline repetitive SysAdmin tasks.
Deployment of a Windows Server 2025 environment featuring automated user onboarding and GPO-based hardening.
- Tools: VMware, Windows Server, PowerShell, Group Policy.
- Key Achievements: Successfully promoted a DC in a new forest (
homelab.local) and designed a logical OU hierarchy (UAE_Assets) to streamline administrative delegation, and implementing restricted groups via GPO.
A collection of packet captures and analysis reports focusing on identifying suspicious network behavior.
- Tools: Wireshark, TShark, Nmap.
- Key Outcome: Identified anomalous DNS and HTTP traffic patterns to simulate real-world threat detection.
