What I'm looking for

I'm seeking an entry-level IAM role where I can apply hands-on skills in Microsoft Entra ID, Active Directory, SIEM monitoring, vulnerability assessment, and enterprise identity security while continuing to grow.

I've built a cybersecurity detection and monitoring lab using Splunk, pfSense, Kali Linux, Docker, and Tracecat SOAR to test vulnerabilities, simulate adversary activity, and automate suspicious-IP alert enrichment into incident cases.

I also configured a Microsoft Entra ID P2 tenant from scratch, including users, groups, Conditional Access, MFA, SSPR, PIM, app registrations, and B2B guest access. My hands-on work spans Active Directory, SIEM log analysis, vulnerability assessment, threat detection, incident response, and Zero Trust practices.

Previously, I supported software operations and business administration at Kuko Global Trades. As a co-founder and organizer of Starfort Cybersecurity Awareness Program, I helped deliver awareness campaigns across 20+ educational institutions and a Cyber Xplore workshop for 600 students.
