Overview

I am a Software Engineer (Full-Stack | Security-Aware) focused on building production-grade systems with a strong emphasis on security, authentication, and backend integrity.

My work combines modern web engineering with practical security testing, defensive design, and real-world deployment considerations. I approach systems not only as a developer, but also with the mindset of an attacker and defender.


Digital Journey

My journey began with the fundamentals of web development and progressively evolved into building and maintaining end-to-end systems covering:

  • frontend architecture
  • backend services and APIs
  • database design and access control
  • authentication, authorization, and payment flows
  • deployment, configuration, and environment security

Today, my focus is on building secure full-stack applications where security is considered from the first design decision rather than added later.


Continued Learning & Security Focus

As my engineering skills matured, I expanded deeply into security-aware development and offensive/defensive testing practices.

Key areas of continuous development include:

  • secure API design and authentication flows
  • role-based access control and privilege separation
  • database-level security using PostgreSQL Row Level Security (RLS)
  • secure handling of secrets, tokens, and environment configuration
  • understanding real attack surfaces in modern web applications

Alongside development, I actively practice bug bounty methodologies, combining reconnaissance, manual testing, and controlled experimentation to identify weaknesses in authentication, authorization, and API logic.


Academic Background

BSc (Hons) Computer Networking & Cybersecurity
London Metropolitan University
Expected graduation: 2025

Academic Progress

  • First Year completed with high academic results
  • Second Year completed successfully, with strong focus on networking, security, and systems design

Academic Focus & Research

During my studies, I have conducted multiple academic and practical research activities related to:

  • Intrusion Detection and Intrusion Prevention Systems (IDS / IPS)
  • Network traffic analysis and attack pattern recognition
  • Security controls at network and application layers
  • Defensive strategies against unauthorized access and abuse

These research activities strengthened my understanding of how real-world attacks manifest and how layered security controls mitigate them.

Bug Bounty & Security Research

I actively practice bug bounty-style security research, focusing on:

  • authentication bypass scenarios
  • authorization and privilege escalation issues
  • API misuse and logic flaws
  • improper access controls and token handling

I am experienced in documenting findings clearly and professionally, producing structured reports that explain:

  • vulnerability impact
  • reproduction steps
  • security implications
  • mitigation recommendations

This experience strengthens my ability to design systems defensively and anticipate abuse cases during development.
