January 2025 — Strengthened security posture and improved maintainability for UML-Cyber-Security/CCDC_Practice_Infrastructure. Delivered Passwd-Pol, a PAM-based Linux password policy enforcement script with dynamic configuration, cross-distro support (yum/apt), and updated usage documentation. Conducted comprehensive documentation improvements across modules (KeyCloak/DNS setup, nix installation, Windows services, Wazuh/Graylog deployment). Addressed quality issues with targeted fixes (SED handling, removal of debugging echoes) to stabilize deployments.
