MIS senior at Iowa State University with a Cybersecurity Engineering minor and CompTIA Security+, and a former cybersecurity intern at HNI Corporation. I build security controls and AI-powered tools and test them against real systems. Looking for entry-level roles in security engineering, security operations or identity and access management, and AI engineering or automation roles, starting January 2027.
Supported incident response using Proofpoint TRAP and VirusTotal; contacted users and classified reported emails as phishing or benign.
Investigated potential exposure of Social Security and payment-card data using Proofpoint DLP.
Automated triage for 3 identity-alert types in Cortex XSIAM; processed 30+ alerts without manual review and escalated ambiguous cases to analysts.
Wrote 3 Rego security controls and 6 Wiz Security Graph queries to identify Azure WAF and network-access gaps, validating configurations against defined security requirements.
Integrated HPE Aruba EdgeConnect with Cortex XSIAM through Python REST APIs to support threat-intelligence workflows.
Developed 6 scripts and 2 playbooks for scheduled threat-intelligence updates, with auditable runs and dry-run safeguards.
Produced 3 SOC handoff guides with architecture diagrams, testing procedures and troubleshooting instructions so analysts could maintain and extend the automation.
Automated employee offboarding that proves the person's access is really gone, across Microsoft Entra ID (test tenant), Keycloak and an Active Directory-compatible directory.
2.6 s from the HR event to the person signed out and their tokens blocked
6 gaps found by live testing, from a surviving group membership to Kerberos tickets valid for 10 hours, each fixed or documented
20 s for Entra to confirm the change; 32 s to catch a sign-in after someone has left
