About
I’m a recent Master’s in Computer Science graduate (University of Bridgeport, 2024) focused on Identity & Access Management (IAM) and cloud security. I build hands-on projects that simulate real IAM analyst tasks: user/group/role provisioning, least-privilege policy design, MFA guardrails, policy simulation, and weekly audit reporting to keep environments secure and audit-ready.
My previous Data Analytics work (Python, SQL, Power BI) strengthens my automation and reporting skills, which I now apply to IAM governance. Open to opportunities in the USA and Germany.

- AWS IAM — User/Group/Role Management, MFA, Policy Simulator
- Access Governance — Access Analyzer, Audit Reports, Compliance Evidence
- Automation — AWS CLI, Python (boto3), JSON Policies
- Security Best Practices — Least-Privilege, RBAC, Policy Validation
Identity & Access Management (IAM) Projects
AWS IAM Automation — Least-Privilege, MFA, Trust Policies & Audits
Automated provisioning of IAM users, groups, and roles using AWS CLI and JSON policies. Enforced MFA guardrails, validated permissions with the Policy Simulator, and generated a weekly compliance audit.
- Skills: AWS IAM, RBAC, MFA, AWS CLI, Python, JSON Policies
- Evidence: Policy simulation · Audit report
IAM Access Analyzer & Policy Validation (AWS)
Used IAM Access Analyzer to detect risky access (public, cross-account, wildcards), validated IAM policies, and exported findings to CSV for compliance reporting. Collected evidence with logs, reports, and console screenshots.
- Skills: AWS Access Analyzer, Policy Validation, Compliance Reporting
- Tools: AWS CLI, Python (boto3), Excel
- Evidence: Findings CSV · Validation log
IAM Credential & Key Rotation Audit (AWS)
Pulls the official AWS IAM Credential Report, flags common risks (no MFA on console users, password age > 90d, access keys never used or not rotated > 90d), and exports a clean risk CSV plus a short TXT summary.
- Skills: AWS IAM, Credential Report, Access Key Rotation, AWS CLI, Python (Pandas)
- Evidence: Evidence folder · Project README
