SECUREPATH

Security & Systems Roadmap

This roadmap outlines the capabilities and portfolio artifacts I am intentionally building. Each item is scoped around concrete deliverables and a clear Definition of Done, emphasizing quality, security outcomes, and real-world applicability.

What this demonstrates

How to read this roadmap
Architect thinking
Trust boundaries, threat modeling, and control selection — not just tools.
Security outcomes
Every roadmap item is scoped around a measurable outcome and deliverables.
Proof-first artifacts
Diagrams, playbooks, reports, dashboards, demos — backed by evidence links.
Engineering depth
Full-stack + data skills (SQL/JSON) used to ship real portfolio demos.

Portfolio-ready Architecture Case Study

Publish an end-to-end case study that shows how I design secure systems.

Portfolio artifacts
System diagram (trust boundaries + data flows)Threat model summary (top risks + mitigations)Controls mapped to risks (NIST/CIS style)Executive summary (recruiter-friendly)
Definition of Done (quality gate)
  • Diagram exported and embedded on site
  • Threat model includes assumptions + top risks with mitigations
  • Controls mapped to risks with rationale
  • Final page reads like a case study (not notes)
