- Spearheaded threat alert management for a workforce of 3,000, employing Splunk for comprehensive log analysis, CrowdStrike and Axonius for evaluating device vulnerabilities and malicious programs, and ProofPoint for analyzing suspicious email threats. - Engineered a Python script for the retroactive tagging and normalization of Jira tickets, significantly enhancing data searchability and analysis. - Innovated an automated testing process for public-facing domains with Python, markedly reducing manual testing efforts. - Developed and iteratively refined a Python script for effective retrieval and assembly of JSON logs via the Managed Detection and Response API. This enhancement facilitated dynamic search and parsing functions and integrated R for advanced data analysis and metric visualization, continually improved through feedback. - Applied insights from Python development to Tines, automating log retrieval and parsing for Jira, thereby reducing alert response times. Generated regular reports for leadership, providing strategic insights based on historical alert data. - Developed an integration with Tines to automate Jira Ticket generation, streaming Incident Response processes. - Authored in-depth investigation runbooks within Atlassian, capturing key learnings and best practices from extensive alert triaging experience. - Tools Used: Splunk, CrowdStrike, Tines, Axonius, Propel, M365, GBS, ProofPoint, Workday, WorkspaceOne, Palo Alto (Panorama, Prisma Cloud, Prisma Access, Cortex Data Lake), AWS, DataDog, Atlassian (Jira, Confluence), Slack Grid, 1Password, Okta, Espressive/Barista

- Leaded a Purple Team Project to evaluate detection tools and their efficacy at mitigating threats using generated virtual machines that emulated the production environment. - Automated generating documentation containing all internal rules, potential rules to be added based on the MITRE ATT&CK framework, and Atomic Red Team testing documentation using Python. - Significantly improved testing efficiency by automating processes with batch scripts in Bash and PowerShell. This innovation tripled efficiency by reducing testing time to one-third, and facilitated the extraction of key metrics for comprehensive documentation. - Documented all findings for vulnerability management and presented the project to leadership and peers. - Tools Used: Markdown, Python, Bash, PowerShell, AWS, Splunk, CrowdStrike, Prisma Cloud, MITRE ATT&CK

- Utilized Microsoft Azure's Security Center to monitor for potentially suspicious logins and track attempted logins from foreign locations and IP addresses.- Utilized LogRhythm and Panorama to monitor for abnormal log activity and analyzed logs from Contra Costa Country Health Services.- Analyzed weekly vulnerability management reports in Varonis and communicated with vendors to prioritize the implementation of critical patches.- Deployed updates to endpoints (e.g., laptops, workstations) outside of business hours using SentinelOne.

Each1Teach1 is an organization matching tech interns with organizations needing tech services. As part of my tech internship with Each1Teach1, I collaborated with my cohort to create a Windows image with simulated data for a digital forensics class at Merritt College.- Created and updated a Windows image in VMware and Virtualbox to simulate data left behind by a suspicious actor committing fraud by generating suspicious web history and deleted PDFs that can be recovered via digital forensic tools, such as Autopsy and Scalpel.

- Team lead for the car wash and maintained smooth business operations.- Responsible for teaching new employees and solved incidents that occurred during mechanical failures.- Wages were paying my way through college.

As a member of Tech Exchange, a nonprofit organization, I assisted in the refurbishment of donated, used computers for distribution back to the community in local schools or for sale at affordable prices.- Performed repairs on laptops, including replacing hardware and re-installing Windows, macOS, and Linux operating systems.- Diagnosed and resolved operating system issues, and used KillDisk to sanitize hard drives and erase sensitive data.
