About Me
I am developing a strong foundation in cybersecurity with a focus on web application security, Linux server hardening, vulnerability analysis, and secure hosting practices.
My approach is hands-on: I learn by building, testing, breaking, documenting, and improving. This portfolio highlights my labs, security writeups, certifications, and projects.
Skills & Tools
Exposure to OWASP Top 10 concepts, Firewall basics and malware checks, performing log reviews on system and web server logs for errors, suspicious activity, and ensuring baseline server security.
Hands‑on practice with Python, SQL queries, Java basics, and JavaScript for web tasks.
Diagnosing hardware/software issues, reinstalling applications, and resolving customer tickets.
User account management, system updates, file permissions, and basic PowerShell commands.
Domain setup, DNS records, SSL/TLS, backups, web hosting, WordPress security, and monitoring.
Experience with Nmap, Wireshark, Wazuh vulnerability checks, Sucuri malware scanning, SSL certificate checking, and basic firewall configurations.
Understanding IP addressing, subnets, routers, switches, and troubleshooting connectivity issues.
Laboratory & Projects
Built a Python automation tool that organizes files into categorized folders based on file type. The project also includes a recovery utility for restoring organized files to their original location.
Built a browser-based JavaScript password generator that creates customizable random passwords with selectable character types, password length, basic strength feedback, and a copy-to-clipboard feature.
Built a Java desktop application that monitors real-time CPU, memory, disk usage, running processes, and system health. Includes threshold warnings and log export features, demonstrating Java programming, operating-system concepts, system administration awareness, and security-minded monitoring.
Designed and implemented a relational database schema for a Helpdesk Ticketing System. Includes tables for users, tickets, categories, and resolutions, with example queries for reporting and IT support workflows. Demonstrates SQL schema design, normalization, and practical IT support awareness.
Built a browser-based cybersecurity and IT tools website featuring DNS lookup, WHOIS/RDAP links, hash tools, subnet calculators, IOC extraction, phishing URL analysis, and email security utilities.
