- Contributions: thread-safe producer–consumer queue, custom memory management, priority-based FIFO schedulers, dynamic doubly-linked lists in C, synchronization (mutexes/condvars), and multi-threaded debugging.
- SOC Infrastructure & Tooling
- IAES Repository — Deployed and integrated open-source tools for an internal SOC: Docker, GLPI, OpenCTI (with connectors), NGINX, Zeek, Suricata, Elasticsearch, Kibana. Worked across install, config, testing, optimization, documentation, and workflows (SIEM pipelines, TI ingestion, alerting infra, SOC design).
- Volunteer Contributor — Infrastructure & Configuration
- Repository: Cyber Saguaros CyberHub
Highlights
- IaC & automation: authoring and refining Ansible playbooks, Docker Compose stacks; contributing to Terraform/HCL provisioning where applicable.
- Identity & access: assisting with Keycloak SSO integration; exposure to FreeIPA/SSSD and directory services (LDAP/Samba).
- Secrets management: contributing to HashiCorp Vault configuration and secure service bootstrapping.
- Virtualization & platform: Proxmox templating and service deployment patterns.
- Security telemetry: Elastic Stack pipelines; network sensor integration (Zeek, Suricata) and log ingestion paths.
- Workflow automation: n8n flows for operational tasks and content pipelines.
- Learning & CTF: support for Moodle-based courses and the Crucible range infrastructure.
Impact
- Helping standardize service templates, improve repeatable deployment processes, and document configuration for a reproducible student-accessible cyber range.
- Cyber Saguaro Club — CTF Captain (since Mar 2025). Led server reorganization, training sessions, and challenges; fostered collaborative upskilling across reverse engineering, forensics, web exploitation, and more. Join the Discord
