Identity and access governance with Microsoft Entra ID and Active Directory
Biography
About
Security Analyst & DevSecOps Engineer
North Bay, Ontario - Remote, hybrid, or on-site
Cybersecurity professional with practical IAM, cloud, endpoint, and network experience.
Cybersecurity and DevSecOps professional with 5+ years across school-board, telecom, service-desk, client web, and privacy-sensitive environments. I secure Microsoft identity, Azure, endpoints, networks, and production web platforms while keeping documentation clear for the teams who operate them.
Profile
Cybersecurity, IAM, cloud-security, and network-security professional with hands-on experience in Entra ID, Active Directory, RBAC, MFA, Conditional Access, Azure VM/NSG hardening, Microsoft Defender, ESET, SolarWinds, firewall policy cleanup, wireless segmentation, vulnerability remediation, PowerShell automation, and secure web/server operations.
My experience is hands-on: supporting 1,000+ endpoints, mitigating 150+ monthly security incidents, hardening Azure VMs and NSGs, improving Entra ID access controls, cleaning up Fortinet and Palo Alto firewall exposure, and documenting work so teams can operate it confidently.
Alongside security roles, I own Neotha and support live client web platforms including neotha.com, nkurunziza.ca, and sylvarenovations.ca. That work adds real production ownership: frontend, backend, hosting, DNS, SSL/TLS, client support, and server management. Outside of work I play chess and soccer, and I enjoy time at the piano.
