Cybersecurity, Network Operations, and Automation
I work at the intersection of cybersecurity, network operations, and automation. My recent work includes customer network readiness support at Nokia, malware signature research, IT support in security-conscious environments, Power BI reporting, and Python tools that make operational workflows easier to repeat.

Featured Work
Selected projects and workstreams
A few examples of how I approach automation, analytics, and security problems in practical environments.
Nokia RTU Report Builder
I worked on a Python desktop application that turns a repetitive Excel reporting process into a more consistent guided workflow.
- Designed around real reporting pain points: repeated filtering, workbook preparation, and output consistency
- Helped turn a manual process into a tool-driven workflow that is easier to rerun
- Packaged the app for desktop use so non-developers could use the workflow without touching the code

Network Latency Dashboard
I built Power BI views to compare application-level network behavior, focusing on throughput, RTT, user counts, and data volume patterns.
- Shaped raw operational data into dashboard-ready metrics
- Compared latency and throughput signals across regional datasets
- Used visual analysis to make performance patterns easier to explain

Malware Signature Research
At Nokia, I researched malware behavior and supported signature quality through Snort rule work, MITRE ATT&CK mapping, and analysis workflows.
- Developed and modified signatures for emerging malware activity
- Mapped behaviors to MITRE ATT&CK tactics and techniques
- Used static, dynamic, and passive analysis to support detection quality

Early Technical Demo
Where the curiosity started
This older demo shows an early stage of my technical curiosity: using Cheat Engine to inspect and modify in-game memory values, understand how software state changes at runtime, and see how those values can sometimes be manipulated for gameplay advantage.
