About Me
I am a Cyber Security Operator with hands on experience in packet analysis, network monitoring, and system support. I spend time in my lab testing tools, collecting traffic, and learning how systems behave. This helps me troubleshoot issues and improve how I work.
I use Security Onion, Wireshark, ESXi, Windows Server, Linux, and a mix of network analysis tools. I built a Windows Server 2025 lab to practice configuration, updates, storage, roles, and performance tuning. I also build workflows in SharePoint and Power Automate to cut down on manual steps and keep things organized. I am learning Python to support small scripts and simple automation.
I enjoy digital forensics and practice basic file analysis, log review, and system behavior in my lab. I create clear SOPs and AARs that help teams follow repeatable steps and keep documentation simple.
I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Network and Cybersecurity. My certifications include Security Plus, Network Plus, A Plus, Linux Plus, ISC2 CC, and CySA Plus.
I was recently laid off. I am looking for a new role in cyber security, system support, or technical operations. I bring steady problem solving, clear communication, and a focus on simple, reliable results.
