CompTIA Security+ and A+ certified systems and cybersecurity professional with hands-on experience administering Active Directory, Microsoft Entra ID, Microsoft 365, Windows endpoints, and identity and access management environments.
My experience includes user lifecycle management, RBAC and least-privilege access, authentication troubleshooting, endpoint support, VPN and network connectivity, PowerShell automation, and security incident investigation. I progressed from Tier 1 support into identity, access, and systems administration responsibilities while supporting production enterprise environments.
This GitHub documents hands-on projects across Entra ID IAM, Active Directory, Windows Server, Linux, PowerShell, Intune, Group Policy, VMware, Splunk SIEM, networking, and infrastructure security. Projects include technical documentation, implementation details, screenshots, and practical enterprise scenarios.

Built and documented a simulated enterprise Microsoft Entra ID environment demonstrating cloud identity administration and IAM best practices.
- Provisioned 10 cloud users
- Created 15 role-based security groups
- Implemented role-based access control (RBAC)
- Applied least-privilege access principles
- Managed user provisioning and identity lifecycle operations
- Configured security group membership and access structure
- Documented the environment and implementation process
Built a Splunk SIEM lab to centralize, search, and analyze security and system event data for operational and security monitoring.
- Ingested and analyzed over 69,000 events across hundreds of hosts
- Used Splunk Search Processing Language (SPL) to investigate system and security activity
- Analyzed Windows and PowerShell-related events to identify notable activity and patterns
- Applied SIEM, log analysis, and security-monitoring techniques
- Created targeted searches to support troubleshooting, investigation, and incident analysis
- IT Support, IAM, & Cybersecurity Labs: Hands-on simulations featuring Active Directory provisioning, network troubleshooting, network packet analysis, and endpoint security hardening.
26 enterprise-focused hands-on labs demonstrating:
