Hello!

My name is Justin Singh. I'm a cybersecurity-focused Information Systems & Technology student who enjoys working on practical, hands-on problems across networking, endpoint security, and system administration.

I’m especially interested in the incident response lifecycle, vulnerability assessment, and endpoint security. A lot of my learning happens in self-built lab environments where I can safely experiment, break things, and then put them back together with a stronger security posture.

Experience

Advanced Repair Agent Geek Squad / Best Buy • 2023 – Present • Riverside, CA
  • Investigate and remediate endpoint security incidents, including malware infections, OS-level compromise, corrupted system files, and persistence artifacts on Windows-based systems.
  • Perform full system recovery workflows: malware eradication, OS reinstallation, patch validation, driver configuration, and secure restoration of user data.
  • Diagnose TCP/IP stack issues, DNS resolution failures, DHCP misconfigurations, and router-level connectivity problems in small office and home network environments.
  • Apply structured incident response methodology (identify, contain, eradicate, recover, document) when addressing compromised systems.
  • Analyze Windows Event Viewer logs and system diagnostics to identify security events, anomalies, and root causes of suspected compromise.
  • Maintain detailed technical documentation in internal ticketing systems and communicate findings clearly to stakeholders.
  • Mentor junior technicians on structured troubleshooting methodology and secure repair practices.

Projects & HomeLab

Enterprise Network Security Lab VMware • VirtualBox • Cisco Packet Tracer • Windows • Linux

Designed and maintained multi-VM lab environments simulating segmented Windows and Linux networks, configuring routing, switching, and VLAN segmentation while testing security controls in isolated environments.

  • Built small office network topologies and documented potential security impact.
Raspberry Pi NAS Linux • SSH • File Services

Designed and deployed a Raspberry Pi–based network-attached storage solution to simulate small-scale on-prem infrastructure with secure access and backup workflows.

  • Configured SSH access, user-level permissions, and secure file-sharing protocols.
  • Implemented automated backup processes and access control policies to reinforce data integrity and security.
Infrastructure Firmware & Embedded Systems Project Nintendo Switch • Nintendo 3DS • iOS

Worked with custom firmware and embedded systems to understand low-level device behavior, backup and restore processes, and secure configuration.

  • Installed and configured custom firmware on Nintendo Switch and Nintendo 3DS platforms.
  • Executed NAND backups, firmware restoration, and hardware-level troubleshooting.
  • Configured jailbroken iOS devices, managing system-level restrictions and post-installation hardening.
