I’m an aspiring Identity and Access Management (IAM) professional with hands-on experience building and managing Active Directory environments. I’m CompTIA Security+ certified, and I apply practical knowledge of user provisioning, Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), and authentication systems to real configurations.

Through my IAM home lab, I designed and implemented a simulated enterprise IAM environment using Active Directory, including 20+ user accounts organized into Organizational Units (OUs). I enforced least-privilege access by implementing RBAC with security groups, configured shared folder permissions for HR, Finance, and IT, and validated authentication workflows by joining Windows client machines to the domain.

I’m currently preparing for SC-300 and expanding into cloud identity, MFA, and Conditional Access. My approach is hands-on and security-focused—I’m actively strengthening my understanding of authentication vs authorization and continuing to build labs that turn IAM concepts into dependable access management.
