My Work

Recent Project

Cloud Security Implementation

In this project, I designed and implemented a robust security architecture for a client’s AWS infrastructure to safeguard sensitive data and streamline secure access management. The implementation included creating comprehensive IAM (Identity and Access Management) policies to ensure least-privilege access, enhancing system security by strictly controlling permissions.
  • Type: Cloud Security Architecture
  • Langages: Python, YAML
  • Platform: AWS
  • Country: USA

IoT Security for Smart Devices

In this project, I was tasked with securing a fleet of IoT devices deployed in a smart city infrastructure. The devices, which included smart sensors, cameras, and traffic management systems, needed to be protected from unauthorized access and tampering. I implemented secure communication protocols like TLS/SSL and MQTT for safe data transmission between devices and the central control system. Additionally, I introduced device authentication mechanisms to ensure only authorized devices could join the network. Regular Over-the-Air (OTA) updates were set up to deliver firmware patches and security updates to devices, protecting them from emerging vulnerabilities.
  • Type: IoT Security Implementation
  • Langages: C, Python, Bash
  • Platform: IoT Devices, Embedded Systems
  • Country: USA

Penetration Testing for E-Commerce Platform

In this project, I conducted comprehensive penetration testing for a major online retailer to identify potential security vulnerabilities in their e-commerce platform. The testing focused on simulating real-world cyberattacks to uncover weaknesses that could be exploited by malicious actors.
  • Type: Security Assessment & Penetration Testing
  • Langages: Python, Bash
  • Platform: Web Application (E-Commerce)
  • Country: USA
  • Techniques: SQL Injection, Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), and Credential Brute-Forcing

Website Security Setup for Marketing Agency

For this project, I implemented a comprehensive website security setup for a marketing agency to safeguard their WordPress-based site from cyber threats. The project involved configuring firewalls and SSL/TLS encryption to protect sensitive data and secure communication channels. I also set up Cloudflare to mitigate DDoS attacks, enhance performance, and offer an additional layer of security against malicious traffic.

Secure Web Application Development

We applied OWASP best practices to prevent common vulnerabilities such as SQL injection and Cross-Site Scripting (XSS). To ensure encrypted communication, the entire platform was secured with HTTPS, and sensitive user data was stored using strong encryption techniques. For user authentication and session management, we implemented token-based authentication (JWT), providing secure login and maintaining session integrity across multiple platforms.
