I secure endpoints, identities, and data systems using Microsoft Defender, Entra ID, KQL, and NIST-aligned controls.

What I'm looking for

I'm looking to apply my software engineering and cybersecurity skills to solve real-world problems, with opportunities to strengthen endpoint, identity, and data security.

At Governors State University, I design and manage Microsoft Defender for Endpoint deployments aligned with NIST 800-53 and CIS Controls, strengthening endpoint security and institutional compliance.

I use advanced KQL queries to proactively hunt threats, analyze Entra ID sign-in logs and risky-user alerts, and work with the Help Desk on credential resets and forensic scans to contain compromised endpoints. I also review vendor RFPs against FERPA, HIPAA, and the NIST Risk Management Framework.

Previously at Enverus, I managed and analyzed ETL projects for the Trading & Risk Team. I developed processes with SQL Server and Azure Data Factory, maintained complex SQL objects, supported SSIS packages, and verified pricing and metadata routing for MarketView.

I'm a Computer Science graduate with foundations in Java, Python, C++, relational databases, Hadoop, and Apache Spark. Through GSU Cyber Security, I participated in hacking competitions focused on penetrating professionally configured networks, and I’m continuing to study for AZ-900 and RHCSA.
