Hi, I'm
Y2 Cybersecurity Student @ Nanyang Polytechnic
Focusing on Improving and Automating Tasks/Systems
As a Year 2 Cybersecurity student at NYP, my approach to technology is defined by a commitment to continuous growth and resourcefulness. My early days in the Foundation Program taught me the importance of being intentional and self-driven. Today, I supplement my studies by mastering industry-relevant tools and automating complex tasks whenever possible. I believe true expertise comes from exploring the 75% of the field that exists outside the standard syllabus. Currently, I am applying my technical skills to build a platform that streamlines the learning process for polytechnic students. My goal is to transform challenges into automated, scalable solutions
Technologies and tools I work with regularly
Developed secure Flask applications with robust authentication, implemented data structures for efficient security tool automation, and applied secure coding practices.
Built interactive security dashboards and this portfolio, demonstrating front-end capabilities for visualizing threat data and creating user-friendly interfaces.
Designed normalized database schemas using ER modeling, crafted complex queries for data analysis, and integrated secure database operations in Flask applications.
Conducted forensic disk imaging and analyzed file system artifacts across MBR, FAT32, and NTFS partitions for evidence preservation and investigation.
Performed network traffic analysis and protocol inspection for ICMP monitoring, providing foundational packet-level network forensics experience.
Maintained version-controlled repositories for collaborative projects, implemented branching strategies, and documented code through comprehensive READMEs and commit histories.
Architected multiple web applications using blueprints for modular design, implemented secure authentication systems, and followed security best practices for production environments.
Applied SCRUM methodology in team projects, managing sprints with clear feature definitions, task responsibilities, and deadline tracking for efficient project delivery.
Deployed and hosted web applications with automatic CI/CD integration, leveraging serverless functions and edge network for optimal performance and scalability.
Applied OWASP security principles in web development, implementing protection against SQL injection, XSS, CSRF, and authentication vulnerabilities across multiple projects.
Simulated network topologies, configured routers and switches, implemented VLANs, and troubleshot connectivity issues for hands-on networking experience.
Containerized applications for consistent deployment environments, enabling seamless team collaboration and reducing "works on my machine" issues in development workflows.
Utilized S3-compatible object storage for cost-effective asset hosting and content delivery, integrating with CDN capabilities for improved global access speeds.
Completed AWS Cloud Solutions Architect course, gaining foundational knowledge in cloud infrastructure, security groups, and scalable architecture design principles.
Gained foundational knowledge in enterprise identity management, user authentication, group policies, and domain administration for Windows environments.
