What I'm looking for

I seek backend or cybersecurity roles where I can build secure, scalable systems, work collaboratively in Agile teams, and grow in conversational AI and cloud technologies.

I am a motivated Computer Science and Engineering student specializing in backend development and cybersecurity, with hands-on experience in Python, SQL, and secure application design.

During a two-month cybersecurity internship I completed both a foundational systems project using Kali Linux and a major secure web application project that implemented input validation, secure session management, and protections against SQL injection and XSS.

I have built ML and IoT projects, including a CNN-based bird species classifier achieving over 92% accuracy and a real-time forest fire detection system integrating GPS and sensors.

I pursue continuous learning through certifications in SQL, Python, networking, and cybersecurity, and I enjoy competitive coding, hackathons, and open-source contributions that strengthen my backend and security skill set.
