Principal Identity Architect | Active Directory · Microsoft Entra ID · Hybrid Identity · PKI · Zero Trust · IAM | PowerShell Automation
I design and maintain enterprise-grade automation and identity solutions for Windows Server and enterprise environments - covering Identity & Access Management (IAM), Active Directory, Microsoft Entra ID, PKI, ITSM-aligned provisioning, cybersecurity hardening, and digital forensics readiness. My work supports public-sector institutions, judicial organizations, and enterprise IT teams that require secure, auditable, resilient, and scalable solutions in production.
"My mission is to engineer secure, resilient, and scalable solutions that strengthen trust, governance, and operational excellence."
An enterprise-grade, research-aligned automation platform for Windows Server and Windows 10/11 environments, organized into ten specialized modules:
| Module | Description | Key Capabilities |
|---|---|---|
 |
PowerShell toolset for AD CS, enterprise PKI & certificate lifecycle administration. | CA maintenance · Certificate lifecycle · Expired certificate cleanup · Repository organization |
 |
Cross-platform AD LDAP / SSO integration patterns for apps and services. | PHP · .NET · Flask · Node.js · Spring Boot · Secure env-var binding |
 |
Defensive security & digital forensics utilities for investigation and IR. | DFIR collection · EVTX parsers · Credential audits · Threat hunting |
 |
Foundational modular PowerShell framework shared by all modules. | Reusable helpers · Centralized logging · NuGet & SHA256 release automation |
 |
Ready-to-import Group Policy Objects for domain and forest environments. | Security & UX GPOs · Forest-wide templates · Export/import automation |
 |
Windows Server provisioning, hardening & ITSM compliance automation. | Server baselines · Role configuration · GPO drift remediation & audit logs |
 |
Windows 10/11 workstation lifecycle automation aligned with ITSM practices. | Pre/post-join automation · Profile & printer standardization · Compliance hardening |
 |
Unified GUI launcher and module orchestrator for the entire suite. | Centralized tool discovery · Menu-driven interface · Single entry point |
 |
PowerShell toolset for Windows Server, Active Directory & network infrastructure administration. | AD & OU lifecycle · GPO enforcement · DNS · DHCP · RDS · System administration |
 |
PowerShell toolset for WSUS administration, maintenance & SUSDB optimization. | WSUS inventory · Configuration auditing · Cleanup operations · WID/SQL maintenance · SUSDB reindexing · API validation |
Engineering philosophy: Every solution is designed with security, governance, automation, traceability, maintainability, and operational resilience as foundational principles for enterprise Windows and Hybrid Identity environments.
💡 Every release includes NuGet packaging, automated changelog generation, and SHA256 integrity validation.
The following works form the academic and methodological foundation behind Windows-SysAdmin-ProSuite - grounding its engineering principles in peer-reviewed science.

"Event Logs: Applying a Log Analysis Model for Auditing Event Record Registration"
Federal University of Pernambuco (UFPE), 2017
Master's Thesis · Computer Science
Keywords: Log Auditing · Digital Forensics · Event Logs · Security Monitoring
Defines a structured methodology for event-log auditing and digital forensic analysis, applying Syslog principles and PowerShell-driven workflows to security-event examination, forensic readiness, operational monitoring, and governance. The research provides the methodological foundation for repeatable log-analysis practices applicable to cybersecurity, Digital Forensics & Incident Response (DFIR), and Windows security environments.
