EXPERIENCE AMERICAN UNIVERSITY
Academic: Built a Windows Server Virtual Machine - Utilized virtualization software to create a virtual machine.
Loaded operating system (Windows Server 2019), and performed basic setup; encrypt username and password.
Ran a test and set up the network. Looked up the IP address and ping virtual machine to ensure a connection was established.
Installation of WAN
Scope: Built Wide Area Network (WAN) for a bank branch including three LANs.
Identified ISP, designed layout for bandwidth, line quality, and hardware
Built WAN utilizing VPN.
Utilized Cisco Packet Tracer 7.2.2.
Network Configuration
Scope: Set up a corporate network and implement security settings for a new bank branch.
Devised network Topology plan and where to assign the IP address.
Built VLANs, trunks, and routers to allow multiple stream communication. Arranged switches to communicate with port security and routers to work with OSPF.
Configured network devices to prevent unauthorized access by securing privilege mode, encrypting passwords, and designed security messaging. Conducted a successful connectivity test.
Network Security
Scope: Act as a security analyst to protect company communication
Set up 3 machines: client, host, and threat; established connection and engaged in communication through network requests and emails.
Imitate a threat to extract info and intercept traffic-utilizing Wireshark.
Kali.org. Configured firewall using pfSense
Python
Create code that receives input; a program that will accept user information.
Create Python script(s) using Pycharm
Create input fields
Create a statement for the desired output.
Test/Run to ensure correct output.
Established protocols, secured channel in a sandbox environment, translated and encrypted code.
Ethical Hacking
Use Wireshark to track passwords. Using Windows and Linux, lookup IP addresses. Try to crack passwords by monitoring the flow of traffic
DFIR
Scope: Performed a forensic investigation within a lab environment using SIFT Workstation & Flare VM. Learned techniques concerning finding “noisy” IP addresses using Zeek to parse pcap Files, filtering techniques, finding malicious files on infected computers/backdoors, investigating malware behavior, and finding secrets.
Learned about the DFIR Lifecycle
Able to acquire data from live and dead Windows & Linux systems. (dd, mount, CAINE, FTK, OSFMount, Sysinternals.
Knowledge in memory-analysis (Volatility), log analysis, and timeline analysis (log parser/Splunk)
Learned about network forensics (proxy, DNS tunnel, malware).
PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
Amazon Data Center OmniPlex/OmniSec, Ashburn, Virginia
Security Officer
Patrol (Securing door, cameras, gates and fences; inspecting red zone where all servers are located)
Entry-Control Point (Ingress-Egress into Data Center)
Itaji Community College, Itaji, Ekiti State, Nigeria
Computer Science Tutor NYSC Program
Taught Computer theory to students who were neither familiar with a device nor proper English terms
Made the lessons as basic and simple as possible using lots of analogies they could relate to in order to impact the knowledge; it didn’t yield the best result though but the outcome was a lot better than when I started with them
Tying the examination questions using Microsoft Word and Spreadsheet
FASYL, Victoria Island Lagos, Nigeria
In-House Office Assistant Industrial Training Program
Switching the office server on and off and managing it
I did a lot of troubleshooting of the network devices as well as the network connection within the office and also leveraged every resource I could get access to when I encountered situations I was not familiar with.
When I started at the office I was tasked with creating an intranet within an empty room; though it was something I had never done before I was able to set it up successfully unassisted
Ensuring that the network system at the office is always up and running
Keeping inventory of office tools, equipment and the computer systems
Reporting any shortages in office supply to the Human Resources department
