What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a hands-on information security or cybersecurity internship where I can apply cryptography, threat analysis, network security, and secure software development skills.

I've built secure software systems, including an end-to-end encrypted Digital Complaint Box Portal using Python, Django, MySQL, and custom encryption and decryption protocols.

At Think Nexus Limited, I analyzed data structures, evaluated storage risks, documented data models, and optimized query pathways for backend prototyping. I'm pursuing Computer Engineering and eager to contribute to a hands-on information security or cybersecurity internship.
