<portfolio>

…Hands-on security, cloud, and identity projects showcasing practical experience in threat detection, automation, and enterprise endpoint management.

This lab demonstrates a SOC-style monitoring setup where endpoint and network activity is collected and analyzed in Splunk. Simulated reconnaissance activity is detected through log correlation, triggering alerts that highlight suspicious scanning behavior against a Windows endpoint.

Focus areas:
SOC monitoring, log analysis, alert creation, network visibility

A centralized threat detection lab using Wazuh to monitor endpoint behavior and security events. Logs from a Windows system are analyzed and correlated to identify suspicious activity, providing hands-on experience with SIEM workflows and alert-driven detection.

Focus areas:
Threat detection, endpoint monitoring, SIEM operations, security analytics

This project showcases automated identity management using PowerShell and Microsoft Graph. User accounts are provisioned in Microsoft Entra ID with predefined attributes, groups, and roles, improving consistency and reducing manual administrative effort.

Focus areas:
Identity automation, Entra ID, PowerShell, Microsoft Graph
