About Me

I am a Cyber Security student at Murdoch University with a passion for securing digital infrastructure and understanding attack vectors. I enjoy building and hardening systems, from cloud servers to web applications. This portfolio is hosted on an AWS EC2 instance that I configured from scratch - including the web server, domain configuration, SSL encryption, and automated security monitoring.

I am currently developing skills in network security, Linux system administration, cloud security, and scripting. My goal is to work as a security analyst or cloud security engineer after graduation.

SSL Certificate Monitoring Script

Bash | OpenSSL | Certbot | Cron

Configured via cron to run daily at 2 AM.
