New York City cybersecurity analyst focused on evidence, defensive operations, and tools people can actually run. Built in Brooklyn.
I work across security operations, IAM, endpoint security, network security, AI application security, vulnerability management, and Splunk-driven investigation.
My projects focus on neglected operational risk: AI assistants with too much authority, scheduled jobs nobody reviews, browser extensions with broad access, stale Entra ID devices, leftover Active Directory objects, and home-network controls that need monitoring, logging, and documentation.
Current Per Scholas lab work adds Cisco Packet Tracer network-defense practice across traffic flow, secure remote access, wireless hardening, ACLs, authentication, DNS, logs, and endpoint fundamentals.
I keep the work practical: clear scope, readable output, reproducible checks, and public writeups that avoid private data.
