System Administrator transitioning to Cybersecurity | Blue Team | Cloud Security
Get in TouchI am a dedicated System Administrator with over 2.5 years of experience in enterprise Service Desk environments, now pivoting my career towards Cybersecurity. My background in troubleshooting, networking, and cloud administration (Azure/M365) provides a strong foundation for securing infrastructure and managing identity access.
I am passionate about Blue Team operations, including Incident Response and Security Operations (SOC). I actively hone my skills through simulated labs, pentesting practice, and continuous learning in cloud security and vulnerability management.
My goal is to leverage my operational experience and security training to protect organizational assets as a Security Engineer or SOC Analyst.
Designed and secured a simulated corporate network environment. Conducted attack simulations using Kali Linux against an Active Directory domain to identify vulnerabilities, followed by implementing detection rules and remediation strategies.
Built a comprehensive homelab to simulate real-world enterprise infrastructure. Configured Windows Server with AD, DNS, and DHCP services, integrated Windows 11 clients, and deployed vulnerable targets for security testing and traffic analysis.
Conducted controlled testing of a local privilege escalation vulnerability in sudo. Documented the exploitation process and mitigation steps to understand the mechanics of privilege escalation and patch management.
