Companies need people who understand how networks, systems, and infrastructure actually workβnot just surface-level theory. I'm a second-year Cyber Security student at Fanshawe College with deep knowledge of Linux administration, Active Directory security, networking protocols, and both offensive and defensive operations. I know how attackers move through environments because I've studied the entire kill chain from reconnaissance to privilege escalation.
My core skills include:
- Security Tool Development β Built production-grade authentication system with WebAuthn/FIDO2, MFA, and isolated logging to external IDS. Developed Python-based vulnerability scanner with NVD CVE lookup integration.
- Penetration Testing β Active on TryHackMe and HackTheBox platforms, practicing reconnaissance, exploitation, privilege escalation, and post-exploitation techniques in controlled environments.
- Web Security β 2 years implementing secure authentication flows, CSRF protection, SQL injection prevention, session management, and API security controls using PHP, JavaScript, and modern frameworks.
- Network Security β Experience with Docker containerization, Nginx reverse proxies with security headers, Redis-based rate limiting, and defense-in-depth architecture design.
- Security Awareness β Developed and executed phishing awareness exercises using GoPhish, identifying user behavior patterns and improving organizational security posture through targeted training initiatives.
- Languages & Frameworks β Proficient in Python, PHP, JavaScript, SQL, HTML/CSS. Familiar with Scapy, Docker, Git, and Linux system administration.
- Bilingual β Fluent in English and French, enabling communication with diverse teams and stakeholders.
- Security-First Mindset β Demonstrated through zero-trust architecture implementation, comprehensive audit logging, and defense-in-depth design patterns across all projects.
