@josephtai
Cybersecurity analyst pursuing security operations and vulnerability management, with a NIST-aligned security architecture and risk assessment project.
What I'm looking for
At Western Governors University, I completed a cybersecurity architecture and risk assessment capstone focused on a modeled small business. I identified network and access-control risks, then designed VLAN segmentation, centralized logging, and vulnerability-scanning controls aligned with NIST guidance and Zero Trust principles.
In authorized labs, I practiced network reconnaissance, packet analysis, web application security testing, and Windows and Linux security assessment. My technical experience also includes website and interactive-product QA at L2D, where I documented defects and worked with development and creative teams to verify fixes.
