Hands-on projects in Linux, networking, cybersecurity, web development, and system administration.
I am an aspiring IT Support professional with hands-on experience across Linux, networking, cybersecurity, web development, and troubleshooting. I enjoy building practical projects that help me understand how systems work, from Raspberry Pi network services to secure web applications and Linux command-line tools.
I am currently working toward entry-level IT Support roles while continuing to develop my skills in cloud computing, system administration, and security.
Built a functional e-commerce website from scratch using PHP, MySQL and JavaScript. Developed secure authentication systems with hashed passwords and implemented protections against SQL injection and XSS attacks using prepared statements and input validation. Designed database structure and integrated cart functionality with dynamic pricing calculations.
Installed and configured the Suricata intrusion Detection System on Linux, demonstrating package management, dependency resolution, and basic IDS deployement within a Linux Enviroment.
Built a Raspberry Pi-based Pi-hole DNS server to provide network wide ad blocking. Hardened the device by configuring encrypted DNS, SSH security, Fail2Ban, and a firewall to improve overall system security.
A self-hosted web platform integrated with a MariaDB database running on my Raspberry Pi. The system enables user authentication, media uploads, and deletions, with secure routing between the Pi and a Windows machine. Built using Python (Flask), SQL, and a web front-end, it demonstrates remote database management and full-stack development skills.
Developed an educational proof-of-concept in Python demonstrating how ransomware encrypts files within a controlled enviroment. This project explores encryption and recovery using a generated decryption key.
Developed a desktop application using Python Tkinter featuring a password generator, image grabber from URLs, and a website pinger to check site availability.
Wrote SQL queries to retrieve and analyse employee device information for update planning, demonstrating practical database querying and filtering.
Demonstrated how a misconfigured Redis instance can be exploited to gain remote access within a controlled lab enviroment, highlighting common security risks and mitigation strategies.
Demonstrated Linux file and directory permission management using chmod, ls, and related commands, showcasing an understanding of UNIX permission models and secure access control.
Developed a complete 2D action platformer featuring enemy AI, boss encounters, particle effects, multiple endings, and custom gameplay systems. This project strengthened my programming, debugging, and game architecture skills.
Performed a penetration test against deliberately vulnerable web application using Nmap and FTP enumeration to identify weaknesses and obtain administrative access within a controlled enviroment.
