capstone project

Skillzguide Web Application

The purpose of this project was to create a functioning AI/ML-based web application intended to help students, employers, and workers search for educational programs applicable to their needs, all while testing the app’s overall security.

My position involved conducting reconnaissance and testing systems against common cyber threats while participating in the application’s development.  The following are detailed highlights of my work:

site monitoring

Performed administrative tasks to monitor the site for malicious activity throughout the project’s duration.

pen testing

Tested the site’s resilience to various recon/scanning techniques as well as common cyberattacks.

collaboration

Worked closely with the site developers to ensure the UI communicated effectively with all back-end architecture.
