About & skills

Cloud security, grounded in practical IT work.

I’m based in the New Jersey / New York area, with a focus on Azure, Microsoft 365 and security operations. My projects connect infrastructure, access controls and monitoring to show how those pieces work together.

Using Terraform and PowerShell to automate deployments and validate security controls, with documented evidence of the results.

As a Microsoft 365 & Azure Administrator at Cupetence Technologies, I maintain and patch Windows Servers, manage Microsoft Entra ID accounts and access, support Windows endpoints and Microsoft 365 users, and administer Azure virtual machines and network security.

Before cloud security, I worked in healthcare handling confidential patient records under HIPAA, and earlier spent nine years as a sales manager. That background taught me to protect sensitive data, explain technical work clearly, and document it so others can follow.

My approach

Build the control. Check the outcome.

My labs follow a straightforward process, from a defined security objective to evidence that others can review.

Design with a clear scope

Define the resources, users and security requirements, then implement controls within the intended lab environment.

Validate the behavior

Use test cases, logs and read-only verification scripts to check access, policy enforcement and detection results.

Make the evidence useful

Record the configuration, results and limitations in GitHub so the work is easy to understand and review.

Build with purpose. Validate with evidence. Deploy with confidence.
