IT Undergraduate | Aspiring Cybersecurity Professional
Exploring software development, cloud technologies and cybersecurity while building practical development experience with Python and Django.
A snapshot of the work and topics I'm actively developing.
I'm an Information Technology undergraduate at ISMT College, affiliated with the University of Sunderland, UK. I'm interested in how software, cloud platforms and cybersecurity come together to build and protect useful technology.
My recent work includes Python and Django development, database applications, network configuration and practical security assignments. I hold the AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate certification and continue to build my skills through coursework, hands-on practice and personal learning.
Cybersecurity is my long-term career direction. I'm particularly interested in ethical hacking and the intersection of AI and security, while staying open to different specializations as I gain more practical experience.
A selection of individual and team projects from my coursework and current development training.
Assessed a deliberately outdated, locally hosted WordPress installation using WPScan and Wordfence Scan. Worked with Wordfence and WP Activity Log, configured rate limiting, brute-force protection and firewall settings, and updated WordPress to improve its security posture.
Worked as the main developer on a team project simulating a 360-degree warehouse environment. Users identify safety hazards and receive scores and hints. The prototype was presented to a client and refined in response to feedback during the project.
Redesigned and improved a company's network in Cisco Packet Tracer in response to a security incident. Configured network devices and security controls, including VLANs, access control lists and firewall-related protections.
Developed a community event management application using C# and .NET, with ASP.NET Core, Entity Framework Core and SQL Server. The documented solution uses a layered architecture and role separation; its test suite recorded 41 passing unit tests.
Currently developing an individual restaurant ordering system as part of Python and Django training. The project uses SQLite for data storage; implementation is ongoing, so further functionality will be documented as it is completed.
Designed and documented a relational database solution, covering entity-relationship modelling, normalization, SQL and PL/SQL procedures, data integrity and database roles and security.

Key milestones in my academic and technical development.
Studying at ISMT College, affiliated with the University of Sunderland, UK.
Earned the official AWS associate-level certification, supported by study and hands-on labs across core AWS services.
Completed the introductory cybersecurity course and earned its digital badge.
Completed the Python and Django fundamentals and am applying them in an individual restaurant ordering system project using SQLite.
An internship opportunity through CodeIT is confirmed; the specific role will be determined later.

Other assignments and prototypes completed during my first and second years of study.
A web application developed as part of a Software Engineering module.
A C# programming assignment supported by UML diagrams and application design work.
A CRUD-based system developed alongside Agile planning and task tracking using Trello.
A full-stack website built as part of the Full Stack Development module.
A Python speech-recognition exercise using the SpeechRecognition library and Google recognition service.
Researched a Kaggle diabetic-patient dataset and carried out data preprocessing, supported by a research report. This work did not represent a completed predictive model.
