SOC · Pentest · Ethical Hacker (Cisco) · Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Foundations Associate
I'm changing careers into Information Security. Before this, I was a military firefighter, a reconditioning mechanic, and a welder, and I bring the discipline, the calm under pressure, and the habit of solving problems hands-on from those fields. I learn by building: every project below started as a question I wanted to answer with a working lab.
| Project | What it does | Stack |
|---|---|---|
| zabbix-security-monitoring | Security observation lab on a Windows host. Detects failed logins (Event ID 4625), newly installed services (7045), and Windows Defender being disabled, with email alerts. Includes documented troubleshooting. | Zabbix 7.0, Docker, MySQL, PowerShell |
| sec-dash-zabbix | Dashboard that consumes the Zabbix API and shows the last 24 hours of alerts with severity charts. | Python, Flask, Chart.js |
| soar-triagem | Receives SIEM alerts via webhook, enriches the IP with AbuseIPDB, and escalates to Slack according to risk. | Python, Flask, Redis, SQLite, Docker Compose |
| checklist-hardening | Read-only audit of SSH, firewall, updates, and accounts without passwords, with a PASS/WARN/FAIL report. | Bash, Linux |
| leak-monitor | Checks emails against data breach databases and alerts only on new leaks. | Node.js, cron, Slack/Discord |
| Project | What it does | Stack |
|---|---|---|
| pentest-findings-dash | Pentest findings management: imports Nmap, Nuclei, and Burp Suite output, deduplicates re-imports, and tracks remediation. | Node.js, React, PostgreSQL, Prisma |
| visual-recon | Captures a screenshot, title, and technologies for each host and builds an HTML gallery for visual triage. | Node.js, Headless Chromium |
| cyber-sec-journey | Documentation of my studies: pentest methodology, Kali Linux tools, SQL Injection, and Bash. | Kali Linux, Bash |
