Welcome to my personal academic portfolio! This repository is a collection of coursework, research, and projects completed throughout my journey in Cyber Security, Vulnerability Research, and Software/Data Engineering.
It is organised into distinct sections by discipline, each documenting the tools, methods, and concepts I've explored and applied.
This section contains my learnings and practical implementations in the field of cyber security. Topics include, but are not limited to:
- Network security fundamentals
- Authentication and access control
- Secure protocols (e.g., HTTPS, SSH, VPNs)
- Intrusion detection and prevention systems
- Firewalls and packet inspection
- Cryptography basics and key management
- Security audits and hardening practices
🔧 Tools & Technologies: Wireshark, Snort, Metasploit, OpenVAS, Kali Linux, etc.
