I build and break defensive infrastructure to learn how it actually fails. My labs are AWS and Kubernetes environments where I deploy the control, attack it, catch the attack, then document what the detection missed.
Currently running live security administration for a small business — MFA, credential management, and SPF/DKIM/DMARC email authentication on a production domain — while preparing for CompTIA Security+.
| Project | What it demonstrates | Stack |
|---|---|---|
| Kubernetes Runtime Threat Detection | Caught 4 live container attacks with eBPF syscall monitoring, mapped to MITRE ATT&CK T1059.004 and T1003.008. Zero-trust NetworkPolicy, least-privilege RBAC, CIS audit across 124 controls. | Falco Trivy kube-bench K3s RBAC |
| AWS Vulnerability Lifecycle | Closed 100% of CRITICAL and HIGH findings on EC2; documented the 2 residual microcode CVEs as accepted risk with justification. Eliminated SSH entirely in favour of SSM Session Manager. | Amazon Inspector SSM IAM ISO 27001 |
| Log Parser & SOC Triage Simulator | Five detections — brute force, off-hours access, sudo misuse, cron persistence, HTTP enumeration — emitting severity-ranked alerts in SIEM field schema. Stdlib Python, no dependencies. | Python Detection Engineering MITRE ATT&CK |
