Washington, District of Columbia, United States
I am a cybersecurity professional specializing in penetration testing, vulnerability assessment, digital forensics, and incident response, with hands-on experience in threat analysis, security operations, and SOAR development. Skilled in tools such as Burp Suite, Metasploit, Nmap, Wireshark, SQLMap, Elastic SIEM, TheHive, Cortex, and MISP, I have applied my expertise in both academic and professional environments, including forensic investigations using FTK, EnCase, and Autopsy. I have also mentored 50+ students in cybersecurity fundamentals, reflecting my passion for knowledge-sharing and leadership. I hold certifications including CRTP, eWPT, and eJPT, with OSCP in progress, and bring strong problem-solving, communication, and collaboration skills to every engagement.
• Guided students in using FTK, EnCase, and Autopsy for forensic image analysis and investigation. • Assisted in evaluating and grading lab reports focused on cybersecurity forensics labs. • Attended an 8-week Leadership, Instructing, and Technology training course to provide metacognitive learning methods to students during class and office hours. • Assisted students in developing incident response, disaster recovery, and business continuity plans aligned with industry best practices. • Provided feedback on writing-intensive assignments, including incident reports, CSIRT plans, and recovery documentation. • Supported course delivery by mentoring students on preparedness, response, and recovery frameworks in cybersecurity.
• Developed and tested offensive security labs simulating real-world attack scenarios across web applications and networks. • Designed vulnerable environments aligned with OWASP Top 10, enabling realistic exploitation and learning paths. • Executed end-to-end attack workflows (recon → exploitation → post-exploitation) to validate lab accuracy and depth. • Simulated adversarial techniques using tools like Burp Suite, Metasploit, Nmap, and SQLMap to enhance lab realism.
• Delivered hands-on training in penetration testing, web security, and cybersecurity fundamentals to 50+ students. • Guided students through real-world lab environments, focusing on vulnerability identification, exploitation, and post-exploitation techniques. • Designed structured learning paths and CTF-style challenges, improving practical skill development and engagement.
• Managed back-end operations for CommSwift, a bulk messaging software for WhatsApp. • Executed data filtration processes on a database containing over 10,000 entries, ensuring accuracy and efficiency in data management and analysis. Generated 20+ leads for the sales of Mimecast and Fortinet. • Designed 80+ marketing posters and flyers for product promotions and business campaigns. • Contributed to the technical sales process for the Azure Risk and Recovery Assurance Program.
• Built a SOAR platform from scratch and integrated Elastic SIEM, Cortex, and MISP with TheHive via Docker. • Automated incident response workflows, reducing triage time by 30% and improving detection accuracy. • Collaborated with analysts to operationalize threat intelligence feeds, enhancing security coverage.
