# Good security work is legible, to engineers and to the people making decisions.
Technical work
Each project demonstrates a distinct technical skill with a real, documented outcome.
Mapped phishing indicators to MITRE ATT&CK tactics and built a repeatable test environment with documented detection rules and test cases. Each rule was validated against simulated telemetry.
Audited overpermissioned IAM roles in a simulated AWS environment. Identified 11 high-risk grants and produced a remediation summary written for both security leads and non-technical stakeholders.
Built a Python command-line tool to normalize messy CSV log exports into a clean format suitable for SIEM ingestion. Processed 12,000 records with configurable field mapping and error handling.

About
I'm a cybersecurity engineer who got into this field because I'm drawn to systems that can be broken, and to the work of making them harder to break. My approach is practical: I try to understand what teams actually need to stay safe, not just what the ideal security posture looks like on paper.
At Howard I combined my CS coursework with independent research on detection engineering and spent time in both offensive and defensive simulation labs. I want to work on a team where clear communication matters as much as technical depth.

Recognition & highlights
1st Place, Howard Security CTF
Competed individually, solved 9 of 12 challenges across web exploitation, forensics, and reverse engineering.
Security Engineering Intern, Fintech Security Lab
Built detection tests, reviewed cloud access policies, and documented incident response playbooks used by the full team.
Lead, Howard Cyber Defense Club
Organized weekly lab sessions and led the team at two regional collegiate cyber defense competitions.
"Jordan communicates security findings with unusual clarity and always connects technical work back to the team's actual risk. He's one of the strongest interns we've had in the detection track."
