Projects

I’m a System Administor @ Tarbiyah Academy with 8 months of professional infrastructure experience, and I currently serve a Cybersecurity Event Coordinator @ OneMAX. I’m passionate about networks, and I spend much of my free time building homelabs, breaking down the latest CVEs, or being yelled at by my family while my IDS blocks legitimate traffic.

All Projects

  • Linux Server Administration Lab with Ubuntu, Docker & Nginx

    Built a hybrid physical and virtual Linux server homelab with three Ubuntu Server VMs, Docker Compose, Nginx, TLS, and pfSense network controls. Deployed 6+ self-hosted services with automated backups, updates, monitoring, and health checks, maintaining 99%+ availability.

  • Azure Hybrid School Infrastructure with Entra ID, Intune & PowerShell

    Built a hybrid Microsoft infrastructure for an elementary school, centralizing identity, access, and management for 100+ users and 40+ Windows endpoints using Entra ID, Intune, Azure, and PowerShell. Automated secure device provisioning and administrative workflows, reducing deployment time by 40% and recurring IT effort by 35%.

  • SOC Incident Response & Vulnerability Management Lab

    Built an enterprise-style security operations lab using Wazuh, Microsoft Defender, Sysmon, Nessus, and GLPI to monitor endpoints, investigate simulated attacks, manage vulnerabilities, and document incidents through structured detection and remediation workflows.

  • IT Asset & Service Management System

    Built a hybrid physical and virtual IT service-management homelab using Snipe-IT and GLPI to track assets, software licenses, device lifecycles, and support tickets. Practiced asset administration, ticket workflows, and IT documentation across physical network equipment, endpoints, and virtual Windows/Linux systems.

  • Enterprise IT & Security Homelab with Active Directory, pfSense & Wazuh

    Built a hybrid physical and virtual enterprise security homelab with pfSense, VLAN segmentation, Active Directory, Windows Server, Sysmon, and Wazuh across 15+ systems. Simulated six attack scenarios and developed 20+ detections to investigate authentication abuse, suspicious PowerShell, privilege escalation, malware activity, and lateral movement.

  • OT Vulnerability Management & Security Compliance Lab

    Built a segmented IT/OT security lab using OpenPLC, pfSense, Nessus, Wazuh, and GLPI to practice vulnerability management without disrupting simulated operational systems. Implemented risk-based remediation, compensating network controls, remediation tracking, and NIST CSF 2.0/CIS-mapped compliance evidence.

  • Small-Business Infrastructure & On-Site Deployment Lab

    Built and deployed a simulated small-business IT environment with 10+ Windows endpoints, Active Directory, pfSense, VLANs, managed switching, VoIP, and network printers. Practiced end-to-end site deployment, configuration, validation, troubleshooting, rollback, and support procedures.

  • IT Help Desk & Remote Support Lab

    Built a simulated Windows 11 office environment with Active Directory, GLPI, Microsoft 365, and remote support tooling to practice end-user troubleshooting, ticket management, account administration, and PowerShell automation across 15 endpoints.
