EXPERIENCE
Network and Security Fundamentals
QuickStart Inc. 04/2024 - 05/2024 Remote
Implemented 7 virtual machines including Router/FW, DNS server, Web Server, CEO PC, and 3 Kali Linux machines.
Documented configurations for each machine.
Created a security baseline.
Analysing Network Vulnerabilities with Python
QuickStart Inc. 05/2024 - 06/2024 Remote
Used standard Python’s “socket” library, wrote a Python program that tested a given host and generated a list of all TCP open ports within the range of 1 to 1025 Code looked for all open TCP ports between the range of 1 to 1025. If a port was open, our code created a file and added an entry for each port number that was open.
In case of any exception for instance “host is not available”, “host name could not be resolved” or due to any other error, the exception was written into the output file.
We also recorded the starting and ending date and time of the beginning and ending of the scan and wrote that information to the output file. We also showed the total time it took to scan the ports.
Ethical Hacking
QuickStart Inc. 07/2024 - 07/2024 Remote
Installed production server into a trusted network. Enumerated all possible vulnerabilities using Nmap and Metasploit. Exploited 4 vulnerabilities on web and production servers, including root access. Created a backdoor account and looked for interesting files. Provided client with a list of recommendations to increase the network security. Penetration Testing
QuickStart Inc. 08/2024 - 08/2024 Remote
Performed a formal "black box" penetration test of a new server in two weeks during normal business hours.
Enumerated and exploited the vulnerabilities of the new server. Concluded with a presentation to client management and submission of a formal written Pentest report at the end of that period. Career Break for Health and Family Care
Career Break 09/2020 - Present San Antonio, TX
After addressing a health issue in 2020, I returned to Texas to focus on my recovery and assist in the care of my father, who has Parkinson's disease. During this time, I also provided dog-sitting services and actively pursued professional development by earning my CompTIA Security+ and CySA+ certifications. I successfully managed multiple responsibilities, including caregiving, dog-sitting, and academic studies, all while coordinating complex schedules and maintaining a high level of organization.
