I'm a cybersecurity undergraduate focused on Blue Team operations, working toward a career in Cloud Security. My foundation so far: cybersecurity fundamentals, networking basics, and social engineering awareness — the defensive side of the house is where I want to build.
Before all this I supervised daily operations at a retail branch. That job was a crash course in leadership, time management and problem-solving under pressure — coordinating people, triaging whatever broke first, and staying calm while everything was on fire. Those habits carry directly into security work: an incident is just a bad Saturday with better logs.
Right now I'm building hands-on skills through labs and course projects, following a structured three-year certification roadmap (below), and looking ahead to internship opportunities where I can be useful to a real SOC or cloud team.
// what i bring to a team
- Defensive mindset — SOC fundamentals, detection thinking, MITRE-flavoured curiosity
- OSINT & information gathering — research discipline, sources, documentation habits
- Data modelling & SQL — normalised schemas, JOINs, dynamic calculations (11-entity project DB)
- Python — team-built management system; automation-first instincts
- Operational leadership — ran a retail branch's daily ops before switching to security
- A plan — 8 certifications mapped across 3 years — SC-200 done, Security+ in progress

cert roadmap
$ cat plan/certifications.3yr --strategy "hybrid SOC & cloud"
A structured 3-year strategic learning path aimed at building targeted expertise in Blue Team operations, cloud infrastructure and defensive security. Each year stacks on the last: SOC foundations first, cloud and GRC second, advanced defence and AI-era cloud security third. This is a plan, not a trophy shelf — only the first step is done so far.

field work
$ ls -la ~/projects --sort=date
Gym Management System
Collaborated with a team to build a system managing gym operations end-to-end — member records, scheduling, and data handling — in Python. First real project from blank file to something people actually use, and a lesson in how much of engineering is agreeing on interfaces before code.
Database Design & SQL Development — Apex Media Hub
Designed a fully normalized 11-entity relational database. Engineered complex SQL queries using JOINs and dynamic calculations to track 1,000+ assets and automate penalty reports. Schemas are a security concern too: clean constraints mean fewer ways for bad data — or bad actors — to slip through.
education
$ cat transcripts/degree.txt
Degree years are mapped one-to-one onto the certification roadmap above — Year 1 SOC foundations, Year 2 cloud & GRC, Year 3 advanced defensive and AI-era cloud security — so coursework and certifications reinforce each other instead of competing for time.
