Projects & Experience
A collection of my cybersecurity projects, internship work, and university lab exercises.
Digital Twin III – Live Cybersecurity Hacking Lab
Developed a cyber-hardened digital twin portfolio simulating a real-world attack and defense environment with security monitoring and logging.
- Implemented secure application design with identity management, authentication, access control, and API security fundamentals
- Built a live hacking sandbox to simulate common attacks, including SQL injection, XSS, authentication bypass, and bot traffic detection
- Used modern technologies, including Next.js, Supabase, Vercel, and TypeScript to build a secure and production-ready environment
- Demonstrated cybersecurity lifecycle practices, including vulnerability simulation, detection, response, and continuous system improvement

Cybersecurity Analyst Internship – AusBiz Consulting (2025)
10-week intensive program via Employability Advantage focused on cloud security, identity controls, monitoring, and threat response.
- Implemented cloud hardening strategies across AWS and Azure environments, focusing on IAM configurations, Secrets Manager, and RDS firewall rules
- Configured identity and API security measures, including AWS Cognito-based multi-factor authentication (MFA), mutual TLS (mTLS) with digital certificates, and API Gateway protection mechanisms
- Deployed real-time threat monitoring using CloudWatch, creating custom alerts and dashboards for security event detection and response
- Leveraged GenAI tools to accelerate vulnerability testing and threat intelligence analysis, improving detection efficiency
- Collaborated in Agile teams to develop and implement security best practices across multiple projects

University Security Lab Projects
Hands-on lab exercises focused on firewall configuration, network segmentation, IDS/IPS systems, and defensive security testing.
- Configured and tested firewall rules, IDS/IPS systems, and network segmentation strategies in controlled environments
- Conducted vulnerability assessments and penetration testing exercises to identify and understand security weaknesses
- Analyzed malware samples and security incidents to understand attack patterns and develop appropriate defensive measures
