Hands-on Network & Security Engineer delivering secure, monitored enterprise infrastructure.
What I'm looking for
I’m an Infrastructure, Network & Security Engineer focused on supporting and securing enterprise environments across 50+ client infrastructures. In my recent internship with Nitaq Information Technology, I worked hands-on with security operations, centralized monitoring, and real-world incident handling.
I monitored security operations using Wazuh SIEM, tuned detection rules and alert workflows, and reduced false-positive alerts by approximately 99%. I also investigated and contained long-term unauthorized activity using behavioral log analysis, implemented containment measures and automated lockout actions, and delivered incident findings and recommendations to management.
I manage network and security infrastructure end-to-end—Cisco routing & switching, VLANs, wireless access points, and VPN tunnels—while deploying and maintaining Fortinet and pfSense firewall policies, NAT rules, and secure remote-access VPN connectivity. I’m also comfortable administering Windows Server 2022 (Active Directory, DNS, DHCP, Group Policy, Hyper-V) and Linux/Ubuntu Server, and I document SOPs and maintenance procedures to help teams operate confidently.
