Labs & Projects
Hands-on practice that connects directly to classroom learning and certification prep:
- Built a home lab using my NAS server, Sonarr/Radarr, and VPN configuration to practice secure networking.
- Completed packet analysis labs using Wireshark to study traffic patterns and identify suspicious activity.
- Practiced system hardening and vulnerability remediation as part of Security+ preparation.
- Documented incidents and responses for simulated SOC exercises.
Skills I’m Building
Key technical and professional skills I am actively developing:
- Technical Tools: Linux command line, Wireshark, Splunk, Python basics.
- Cybersecurity Knowledge: Threat intelligence, vulnerability management, risk assessment.
- Professional Skills: Technical writing, teamwork, and problem-solving from my Navy background.
- Certifications: Actively preparing for CompTIA Security+, with CySA+/CEH in my future roadmap.
