Cover image for Built a complete enterprise-grade SOC
Built a complete enterprise-grade SOC environment from scratch: featuring Wazuh SIEM with custom detection rules, Security Onion with Suricata IDS/IPS and Zeek network monitoring, Active Directory with advanced security logging via Group Policy, and Windows Server with Sysmon telemetry. Designed and executed MITRE ATT&CK-aligned attack simulations from Kali Linux and validated detection coverage through red team exercises. Achieved over 95% detection rate across all tested techniques and tactics. This project served as the foundation for understanding how detection engineering decisions translate into real gaps and how to close them.

Cover image for Delivered a GRC-aligned cybersecurity risk
Delivered a GRC-aligned cybersecurity risk assessment for an Azure-hosted AI-Driven HR Analytics Service processing employee PII and behavioural data. This engagement went beyond conventional security reviews to address AI-specific risks including data poisoning and model bias that carry direct legal exposure under the Canadian Human Rights Act and the proposed AI and Data Act (AIDA). Identified five High risks and produced a mitigation strategy using Azure-native controls, alongside governance recommendations to ensure compliant and auditable AI decision-making ahead of AIDA enforcement.
