I build and test portfolio projects across IT systems administration, SOC Tier 1 incident triage and IAM review, and AI-assisted security automation (MCP).
- IT Systems Administration: Built tested PowerShell automation for Active Directory / Entra ID identity-lifecycle patterns and GPO audits, plus browser-based ITSM rollback risk scoring.
- Cybersecurity Ops & IAM: Portfolio projects demonstrate multi-source security log parsing (Windows EVTX, AWS CloudTrail, Syslog), MITRE ATT&CK mapping, legacy NIST SP 800-61 Rev. 2-style workflows, and example least-privilege review logic.
- AI Agentic Workflows: Built an MCP tool-calling security-triage lab that uses VirusTotal, AbuseIPDB, and AlienVault OTX adapters to produce structured, inspectable alert assessments.

AI & Agentic Frameworks Model Context Protocol (MCP), Tool Calling / Function Calling, Automated Agent Workflows |
| Automation & Scripting PowerShell Core (7.x), Python 3.11+, Bash, PowerShell Modules, Safe -WhatIf Execution |
Security Log Analysis Windows Event Logs (EVTX/XML), AWS CloudTrail, Syslog, Telemetry Ingestion & Parsing |
Threat Intel Integration VirusTotal API v3, AbuseIPDB API v2, AlienVault OTX, Automated Reputation Lookups |
| ITSM & Infrastructure ServiceNow, Jira Service Management, Change Impact Validation, Subnetting, NOC tools (simulated ping, DNS, and port exercises) |
Governance & Compliance Example SOX 404 / SOC 2 CC6 mappings, CIS Controls v8 mappings, SoD heuristics |
Engineering & Testing Node.js / JavaScript, HTML5 / CSS3, pytest, Pester, Git, REST APIs; project-specific verification |
Below are six core operational lab repositories demonstrating end-to-end technical depth across IT Automation, SOC Operations, IAM Compliance, and AI Engineering:
Live browser demos: Portfolio Portal · Signal Desk · Access Review Lab · Change Impact Studio · NetPulse
| Repository | Primary Focus | Core Architecture & Key Features | Stack & Tools | Status / Metrics |
|---|---|---|---|---|
secops-agent-triage |
AI Agentic Workflows / SOC Tier 1 | MCP security-triage lab that ingests alert payloads, uses threat-intelligence adapters (VirusTotal, AbuseIPDB, AlienVault OTX), and produces inspectable reasoning and structured assessments. | Python 3.11, MCP SDK, pytest | Verified coverage: 93.81% |
it-ad-automator |
IT Support & Systems Admin | PowerShell automation lab for identity-lifecycle patterns, GPO ACL audits, cpassword detection, and safe -WhatIf workflows. |
PowerShell Core 7.x, Pester | Verified command coverage: 90.00% |
home-lab-blue-team |
SOC Tier 1 / Infrastructure | Reference blueprint for an enterprise-simulated 5-subnet SOC lab with AD DS, Wazuh, Sysmon, and four detection use cases. | pfSense, Windows Server, Wazuh SIEM, Sysmon | Verified: 29/29 documentation checks |
signal-desk |
Cybersecurity SOC | Browser-based incident-ops log parser for Windows EVTX/XML, AWS CloudTrail, and Syslog schemas with MITRE mapping and legacy Rev. 2-style reports. | JavaScript, HTML5, Node.js | Verified line coverage: 98.63% |
access-review-lab |
Cybersecurity IAM | IAM entitlement-review lab for Entra ID and Okta export schemas that flags example least-privilege and SoD risks against mapped controls. | JavaScript, HTML5, Node.js | Verified line coverage: 99.09% |
change-impact-studio |
IT Support / ITSM Ops | ITSM ticket-risk and rollback-planning lab for ServiceNow and Jira Service Management import formats. | JavaScript, HTML5, Node.js | Verified line coverage: 97.74% |
Additional Operational Repositories:
NetPulse(live app): Canonical NOC/outage-monitoring application with a browser-local diagnostics workbench and a verified 100% line/function diagnostics-engine coverage gate.cybersecurity-hub(live portal): Unified portfolio portal with a verified 97.37% content-registry check.
To make an enterprise-style blue team build reproducible, I designed and documented this simulated reference architecture, its trust boundaries, telemetry flow, and detection scenarios. It is not a deployed end-to-end integration between the listed repositories.

- Network Segmentation: Reference design for five subnets, firewall rules, and isolated management channels.
- Identity & Policy: Reference AD DS, Entra ID hybrid-sync, Group Policy, and audit-logging design.
- Detection & Telemetry: Proposed Wazuh/Sysmon, Windows Event Log, and Syslog collection flow.
- AI-Powered Triage: Proposed handoff from Wazuh/SignalDesk to
secops-agent-triage; the repositories are not wired together as a deployed pipeline.
- Open Roles: Seeking entry-level positions in IT Support Specialist, SOC Analyst Tier 1, IAM Analyst / Identity Specialist, or AI / Security Automation Engineering.
- GitHub: github.com/drummer475-94
