My Projects
Internship
Refactoring and optimizing an existing desks reservation application with dotnet. I had to use the domain driven design principal with clean architecture.
During this internship, I had the opportunity to perform penetration testing on web applications for the company as well. Through this process, I was able to identify several security risks.
Security project
During this project, Our group preformed penetration testing on real clients with live infrastructure. We identified several vulnerabilities in both clients' systems. Some vulnerabilities were even declared as critical. After the penetration tests, we researched the most effective solutions specific to their use cases and delivered an extended audit report outlining our findings and recommended actions.
Trip to Sweden
For my international project, I chose to travel to Sweden, where students were divided into groups. Each group was tasked with securing a very outdated environment that included systems like Windows XP and older versions of Linux. After three days, we were given the permission to perform penetration testing on other groups' environments. As you can imagine, it was an incredibly fun and chaotic experience, filled with challenges and surprises at every turn.
