Experience

Contributed to an existing web-based platform for managing projects, tasks, assignments, and team workflows as part of a four-person development team.

• Reviewed the existing codebase, architecture, components, data flow, and API interactions before implementing changes.
• Contributed to task creation and assignment, along with project, team, priority, and date-related functionality.
• Worked with PostgreSQL data structures and Prisma CRUD operations, and used REST concepts and JSON for client-server communication.
• Used Git feature branches and GitHub pull requests, participated in code review, and investigated errors using debugging and logs.
• Reviewed the existing Jenkins CI/CD workflow, including its build, test, and deployment processes.

Gained practical experience with cybersecurity and network security workflows through guided exercises and technical investigation.

• Used network discovery and service analysis tools for practical scanning and service enumeration exercises.
• Wrote scripts and small helper tools for security-related workflows, working in Linux environments and with command-line tools.
• Studied firewall configurations and network security fundamentals, and took part in practical penetration-testing exercises.
• Analyzed command output and logs, investigated observations, and documented findings for technical security reports.

Explored Large Language Models and Generative AI through research, dataset preparation, prompt engineering, and evaluation of model outputs.

• Conducted research on Large Language Models (LLMs), Generative AI, and AI Agent architectures.
• Worked on dataset preparation and data annotation for AI model development.
• Investigated prompt engineering techniques and evaluated LLM-generated outputs.
• Analyzed emerging Generative AI technologies and their practical applications.
• Contributed to improving dataset and output quality through evaluation processes.
• Followed current developments in LLM and Generative AI technologies.

Built an early foundation in web development by working on a To-Do application and learning how its frontend, backend services, and database fit together.

• Developed a web-based To-Do application with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
• Used MySQL to store and manage application data and implemented CRUD operations.
• Worked with REST API communication and explored how frontend code exchanges data with backend services.
• Used Git in a Linux-based development environment to track changes, test updates, and debug issues.

Gained practical exposure to networking, server infrastructure, DNS, firewall configuration, and troubleshooting.

• Learned how DNS resolves domain names and supports client-server communication.
• Worked with virtual servers and explored basic server infrastructure and network connectivity.
• Used pfSense to study firewall and network configuration concepts.
• Investigated connectivity issues in Linux-based environments and developed a practical understanding of network infrastructure.
