A portfolio by

Parmeet Gill.

From physical badge gates at Amazon, to authentication failures at Microsoft, I engineer how the right people reach the right systems.

01 — Now

Identity, secured.

I am an IT and Cybersecurity professional with 4+ years of enterprise experience across Microsoft and Amazon — where I quietly hold the seams between the people who need access, and the systems that grant it.

My day-to-day is the lifecycle of identity: joiner, mover, leaver. I provision and decommission accounts in Microsoft Entra ID, triage authentication failures across 23+ global gaming studios, and review badge telemetry for the anomalies that don’t want to be seen.

I am presently studying for CompTIA Security+ and Network+, extending hands-on labs in hybrid identity (Windows Server 2025 + Entra Connect), SIEM-style log analysis with Python + MySQL, and incident response simulation in AWS.

03 — Stills

A handful of things I’ve built.

A small selection of cybersecurity, cloud, and full-stack work. Each piece is its own little artifact — open source, fully documented, and built end-to-end.

Cybersecurity · Python · SIEM

LogSentinel

A log analysis & incident-report automation tool that parses SSH, Apache and Windows Event logs and classifies threats via regex — brute force attempts, suspicious access hours, repeated 404s, unknown user accounts — with severity scoring. Parsed events land in a Railway-hosted MySQL backend; dark-themed HTML incident reports are generated through Jinja2.
