During my internship at Steve Madden, I worked on several enterprise IT projects focused on automation, user management, and infrastructure. I helped assign emergency 911 addresses to Teams users across retail stores using PowerShell to automate bulk updates in Microsoft Teams Admin Center. I also assisted in the company-wide migration from Duo to Microsoft Authenticator, using Microsoft Azure to manage user transitions and creating user documentation and communications. Additionally, I set up a Windows Server for automated Windows 11 deployments via PXE boot using Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT) and Windows Deployment Services (WDS), including scripting driver extraction and configuring DHCP/DNS. This experience strengthened my skills in PowerShell, Azure, MDT, WDS, and enterprise IT operations. Interns were tasked with picking a company that Steve Madden could acquire and create a pitch. Our group chose the shoe brand K-Swiss. The website is a rebranded mockup of the current K-Swiss website.

Provided technical support to customers with a wide range of devices. Diagnosed and resolved hardware and software issues, assisted with installations, and provided product recommendations. Built strong communication and customer service skills while working in a fast-paced retail environment.

Researched threat-based vulnerability prioritization using AI and prompt engineering to improve how security teams assess and respond to cyber threats. Currently designing an automated tool that maps vulnerabilities (CVEs) to attack techniques (TTPs) using MITRE ATT&CK, helping organizations prioritize real threats more effectively.

Created a home lab using Linux virtual machines. Simulated attack scenarios and implemented defense strategies. Used Kali Linux to exploit a vulnerable port on Metasploitable2. Configured pfSense to inspect and block specific malicious traffic.

Completed modules on TryHackMe to enhance cybersecurity knowledge:
Cyber Defense Frameworks, Cryptography, Compromising Active Directory, Endpoint Security Monitoring.
