About me

  • Cybersecurity Automation Consultant at Gulf Coast Automation Group: asset inventory, vulnerability assessments and compliance reporting across Google Workspace and custom APIs.
  • Trained in a SOC analyst cohort at Raíces Cyber, where I triaged 2,000+ simulated alerts in an instructor-built Elastic SIEM environment and tuned detection rules.
  • IEEE-published researcher and patent co-inventor, with a B.E. in Electronics & Communication Engineering.
  • Currently studying for CompTIA Security+ and building blue-team projects in the open.

Featured projects

Chain Reaction start page: an attack chain whose links light up one by one until a single fix breaks it

A privacy-first attack-path simulator. Pick everyday habits and it draws the path an attacker could walk from one to the next, then shows the cheapest link to break. Runs entirely in the browser on a deterministic rules engine, with no tracking and no model calls.

  • Analyst mode maps every step of every path to MITRE ATT&CK v20, with a note on where each step could be detected, and says so honestly when no technique fits.
  • Detection Pack: Sigma rules for the steps that leave a trace in Microsoft Entra ID and Exchange Online logs, tested on every push against attack and near-miss samples. CI validates each rule, checks fields against Sentinel table schemas, and builds KQL and SPL.

A secure MySQL healthcare database built for a Database Security course. AES-256 encryption at rest, TLS in transit, bcrypt-hashed passwords and role-based access control, with NIST SP 800-53 controls AC-2, AC-7 and AU-8 implemented and HIPAA-aligned access rules.

MySQL Python NIST SP 800-53 HIPAA

A Python GUI app that pulls data from multiple OSINT APIs to flag phishing indicators, delivered with a full project plan, risk management plan and earned value analysis.

Python OSINT APIs

A group audit of university security documentation against NIST SP 800-171A. We found gaps in malicious code protection, session management and configuration practices, and wrote remediation checklists for risk assessment, vulnerability monitoring and CUI handling.
