SOC Analyst (Tier 1) candidate · Security-Focused IT Support Engineer
I triage endpoint issues to separate user error and misconfiguration from real security events, document them clearly, and write Python to automate the tedious parts. Now moving from MSP support into security operations.
// about
I'm an IT Support Engineer at an MSP, where I support endpoints for multiple clients across Windows, macOS and Linux. Before that I led a deskside support team at CSX. Much of the job is investigation: working out whether a problem is hardware, the user, a misconfiguration, or something that needs a security review.
I also spent seven years building and maintaining web applications. I've implemented authentication, input validation and role-based access control, so I understand how the systems I'm defending are put together.
I'm earning CompTIA Security+ and a B.S. in Information Technology (Cybersecurity) at Strayer University. Outside work I'm building my own security tools and practicing on Hack The Box.
// projects
Triages a saved email: checks SPF/DKIM/DMARC, look-alike sender domains, links that lie about their destination and risky attachments, then outputs a verdict, defanged IOCs and next steps.
Parses Windows Event Logs and surfaces security-relevant activity, such as failed logons and account changes, in a readable summary.
Gathers a host's network connections and configuration in one pass to speed up first-response investigation.
Parse authentication and system logs, extract key indicators and output structured results ready for investigation.
Baseline controls for Linux hosts: SSH configuration, file permissions and account policies.
// development background
Full-stack PERN app (PostgreSQL, Express, React, Node) with full user authentication, tiered packages and a customer newsletter. Built at DevMountain.
Seven years of custom themes, plugin maintenance and deprecated-code cleanup for client stores, with secure practices built in.
