What I'm looking for

I seek a Windows administration or information security role where I can apply AD/GPO, system hardening, and network monitoring skills in a collaborative environment with opportunities for certification growth.

I am an aspiring cybersecurity professional with a solid foundation in system administration, Active Directory management, and security monitoring. I have hands-on experience in Windows Server environments, Linux distributions, PowerShell scripting, and network traffic analysis using Wireshark.

In my current role as Project Manager I manage technical projects, administer and troubleshoot Windows systems, and implement security controls for installations and services. My NJIT cybersecurity labs work—configuring AD DS, applying GPOs, hardening systems, and analyzing network traffic—prepares me to contribute effectively to Windows administration or information security teams.
