Message

At Hallmark Risk & Financial Services, I monitored Microsoft Sentinel and Microsoft Defender alerts, investigated indicators of compromise, and documented findings for compliance and audit reporting. I also automated recurring security workflows in Python and PowerShell.

For my graduate capstone, I built a real-time AWS security scanner that ranks cloud resources by a dynamic Time-to-Compromise metric. I validated the model against the 2019 Capital One breach, where it predicted a 33-minute compromise window.
