Practice Projects & Learning Areas

A snapshot of the areas I'm exploring through university assignments, labs, and self-practice as I grow into a cyber security specialist.

Threats & Lab-Based Practice

University and self-directed labs where I explore how attacks work and how to spot them in data.

Understanding how common attacks are carried out
Basic scripting for automation and log analysis
Network traffic inspection and packet analysis
Hands-on lab work based on real-world scenarios

Security Tools & Monitoring

Early experience using security tools to understand alerts, events, and what they mean for defenders.

Working with SIEM tools for log collection and alerting
Configuring and testing firewalls and basic rules
Experimenting with IDS/IPS in lab environments
Connecting theory from class to practical tool use

Portfolio & Continuous Learning

Using this digital portfolio to turn what I learn into something concrete, visual, and shareable.

Building a secure Next.js app with Neon & Drizzle
Writing about AI, MCP, and security topics on my blog
Tracking my growth as an aspiring Cyber Security Analyst
Preparing for internships and entry-level roles
