Introduction

Welcome to my portfolio site. This portfolio is intended to supplement the information already provided on my Resume.

I have listed some additional responsibilities, past projects, and other relevant information below that may not have been documented with my submitted resume.

Here are some of the roles I have held. I have listed them in alphabetical order.
Some responsibilities overlap.

Cybersecurity Consulting

As a cybersecurity consultant, I have been responsible for auditing security configurations on client assets. I have performed penetration test assessments on networks and web applications and identified critical vulnerabilities leading to early mitigations and ultimately saving the client from reputational damage and lost income.

Security Engineering

Working in security engineering, I have built and managed robust monitoring, network, and endpoint security solutions on AWS, GCP, Azure and local cloud environments. I have built these solutions with the use of automation platforms like Terraform and Ansible. Some common responsibilities include:

  • Building automation to verify and validate reported incidents in Microsoft Defender
  • Building automation to update cloud assets configurations such as AWS EC2, AWS WAF, AWS ALB
  • Building solutions like ELK stack and Grafana to monitor web application traffic for signs of intrusion and compromise
  • Implementation of MFA, least privilege access controls and other security best practices across various client networks
  • Managment and fine-tuning of endpoint detection and response (EDR) software to improve vulnerability detection.

 

Solutions Engineering

In solutions engineering, I was responsible for working with clients to build robust solutions that directly resolved critical system bottlenecks, accelerating project delivery timelines by 25% and securing $1.2M in annual recurring revenue. Some of my responsibilities include:

  • Building reproducible test environments and rigorous validation checks to prevent runtime errors or service interruptions during client platform migrations.
  • Resolving complex system bottlenecks and errors, significantly improving data processing reliability and accuracy for client environments  

Some of the Projects I have worked on.

AWS Bot Control

Repo URL: GitHub Repository

This project leverages Terraform to deploy a secure, high-availability AWS web infrastructure specifically designed to evaluate the performance and detection capabilities of AWS WAF Bot Control.

The architecture establishes an S3 backend with state locking for secure remote state management, alongside a frontend delivery layer consisting of an S3 bucket hosting static web assets distributed globally via a CloudFront CDN. Traffic routing and security are handled through a dedicated Application Load Balancer (ALB), custom Route 53 DNS records, and automated SSL/TLS certificates generated via an ACM module. Perimeter defense is managed by a modular AWS WAFv2 Web ACL featuring the AWS Managed Rules Bot Control rule set attached to both CloudFront and the ALB, creating a fully functional environment to analyze, log, and test automated bot traffic, scrapers, and credential-stuffing threat vectors.

To Do Application

Repo URL: GitHub Repository

This command-line application built in Golang utilizes a stateless, terminal-native architecture. The tool optimizes developer velocity by providing instantaneous CRUD capabilities for task states, completely abstracting away file-system interactions and context-switching bottlenecks.
