Hi everyone 👋 — this is officially my first post on EmmaDeel.com, and I couldn’t be more excited to start building my personal cybersecurity portfolio and blog!

Over the past few years, I’ve become deeply passionate about cybersecurity — not just as a career path, but as a mindset. Security isn’t something you “add on” at the end of a project; it’s something you build in from the start. Whether it’s testing access controls, analyzing vulnerabilities, or writing clear determination statements for compliance frameworks, I love seeing how every piece contributes to protecting systems and people.

This site will be my space to:

  • Share what I’m learning in cybersecurity and compliance (think FedRAMP, NIST 800-53, and real-world assessments).
  • Post about projects I’m working on, from Python data analysis scripts to security automation ideas.
  • Reflect on career milestones and the tools, concepts, and communities that have shaped my path so far.

I’m excited to grow this platform into both a portfolio and a place to connect with others who are passionate about security, technology, and continuous improvement.

Thanks for stopping by — and stay tuned for more posts soon!
