Projects
Engineered and deployed a secure, scalable, and self-hosted cloud storage solution using Nextcloud within Docker containers. Configured Nginx as a reverse proxy to manage traffic efficiently and implemented SSL encryption with Certbot to ensure secure data transmission. This setup enables private file sharing, calendar and contact synchronization, and collaborative document editing, providing a comprehensive alternative to commercial cloud services
Developed an interactive web application with a strong emphasis on cybersecurity best practices. Implemented secure authentication using bcrypt and rate limiting, and protected against cross-site scripting (XSS) through input validation and output encoding. The project followed OWASP guidelines to ensure robust defense against common web application vulnerabilities
Designed and implemented a home-based SOC lab environment using Wazuh SIEM deployed via Docker, simulating enterprise-level monitoring capabilities. Configured log ingestion and custom alerting to detect suspicious activity, system changes, and authentication events in real time. Leveraged the dashboard to analyze alerts and mapped findings to MITRE ATT&CK techniques to develop hands-on skills in threat detection and incident response
