Jamal Baptiste
@jamalbaptiste
Junior vulnerability analyst pursuing security work, with hands-on Nessus assessments and remediation reporting.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
At IES Communications, I install and terminate structured cabling, build out communications closets, and troubleshoot network connectivity and signal-loss issues. I also configure customer premise equipment and document completed work.
At Hydroficient, through Extern, I designed and deployed a Python-based IoT sensor API with authentication controls, then simulated brute-force and replay attacks to validate credential protection. My security audits covered authentication protocol integrity and regulatory compliance, and I delivered remediation reports.
In security projects, I’ve used Tenable Nessus to assess vulnerabilities, analyze CVE and CVSS findings, prioritize risks, and verify remediation. I’ve also tested authentication and access controls across web and mobile apps, and documented defects with reproducible steps and severity classifications.
