Who I Am
I'm Cameron Carter, a Computer Science student at Howard University and an emerging IT and cybersecurity professional with hands-on experience in enterprise systems and infrastructure. My technical foundation spans server environments, Storage Area Networks, high-availability configurations, and security operations which are skills I've built through both academic study, personal projects, and real-world application.
My journey into tech was driven by a genuine fascination with how systems work and, more importantly, how they can be protected. The ever-evolving nature of cybersecurity keeps me constantly learning, adapting, and sharpening my skills.
I am actively pursuing opportunities in cybersecurity, IT infrastructure, and systems engineering where I can contribute to building and defending resilient systems.
Server systems, SAN environments, network and log monitoring, and cross-functional technical collaboration.
Cybersecurity Analyst, IT Systems Engineer, SOC Analyst, IT Support Specialist.
Driven by a passion for understanding systems deeply and protecting the digital infrastructure that organizations depend on.
What I've Built
Designed and deployed a virtualized Security Operations Center (SOC) environment using VMware Fusion, featuring a Windows Server 2022 Splunk SIEM, a Windows 11 endpoint, and a Kali Linux attack machine on an isolated private network. Configured Splunk Enterprise for log ingestion, deployed the Universal Forwarder and Sysmon with custom threat detection rules, and simulated real-world attacks including network reconnaissance, brute force, and privilege escalation. Mapped detections to the MITRE ATT&CK framework and produced incident reports documenting attack timelines, indicators of compromise, and remediation steps.
