ShamarBryant

Cybersecurity and IT professional

I build, troubleshoot, and secure real systems, from Active Directory domains and Linux servers to SIEM alert pipelines and cloud vulnerability scans. Then I document every step so the work can be checked.

Active Directory Domain Lab

A Windows domain built from two clean VMs: AD DS and DNS on Windows Server 2025, a domain-joined Windows 11 client, AGDLP group nesting, a permission-locked SMB share, and Group Policy for both the computer and the user.

AI-Powered SOC Alert Triage

A Python tool that pulls the latest alert from a live Wazuh SIEM, extracts MITRE ATT&CK context, and has OpenAI write an analyst-style triage report. First I had to bring the SIEM server itself back online.

Credentialed vs. Unauthenticated Scanning

I scanned a Windows 11 VM in Azure twice with Tenable. Adding credentials took the results from 36 findings to 147 and surfaced 3 High-severity issues the network-only scan couldn’t see.

AI & AutomationAI-Assisted Engineering

THE BRAIN

A real-time quantitative system I architected and built with AI coding tools: about 50,600 lines of Python, a 9,500-line React control room, and 335 automated checks that gate every deploy.

Security and IT, built on the same fundamentals

I run the systems people depend on, and I secure them. Each area links to the projects that show it.

Cybersecurity

Detect, triage, and reduce risk. I work alerts the way an analyst does, map events to MITRE ATT&CK, and measure real exposure with credentialed scanning.

  • SIEM and SOC operations
  • Alert triage and log analysis
  • Vulnerability management
  • Cloud and AI security

IT & Infrastructure

Build and run the systems people depend on: Windows domains, Linux servers, networks, and virtual machines, configured by hand and documented end to end.

  • Active Directory and identity
  • Group Policy and permissions
  • Windows and Linux administration
  • Networking, DNS, and virtualization

AI & Automation

Make automation reliable enough to trust. I design the system, write the tests, and use AI coding tools to build faster, without letting the model decide what’s true.

  • AI-assisted engineering
  • Prompt engineering
  • Python automation
  • Testing and validation

Experience and credentials

A B.S. in Cybersecurity, four industry certifications with four more in progress, and IT support work alongside the lab projects.
