04
Project writeups

Turning coursework and builds into clearer portfolio case studies.

Background

Building a foundation across cyber security, software, and hardware.

I started with practical IT support work, helping users troubleshoot real problems under time pressure. That experience shaped how I approach technical projects: understand the problem, keep the solution usable, test what breaks, and document the decisions clearly.

Through my cyber security degree, I have worked across cryptography, mobile application development, and deep learning coursework. Outside the coursework, I am now learning Arduino and electronics because I want to become more comfortable connecting software with real-world sensors, motors, circuits, and hardware behaviour.

Long term, I am interested in the overlap between cyber security, AI, and robotics: systems that are intelligent, useful, and built with security in mind.

Through the work

A practical path from support work to secure, intelligent systems.

The path is not about pretending to be finished. It is about building a clear technical foundation through support work, cyber security study, mobile apps, AI coursework, and hands-on hardware learning.

  1. 01

    IT Support - Sonic Healthcare Service Desk

    Handled real support requests, user issues, troubleshooting, and service desk workflows.

  2. 02

    Cyber Security Study - Griffith University

    Built core knowledge across cyber security, cryptography, software development, and technical analysis.

  3. 03

    Mobile Application Development - React Native

    Built Todo List and Fake Store apps using navigation, AsyncStorage, API integration, Redux Toolkit, and emulator testing.

  4. 04

    Deep Learning Coursework - AI / ML

    Worked with CNN and recurrent model experiments, comparing model behaviour, accuracy, and training trade-offs.

  5. 05

    Arduino and Electronics - Current Learning

    Learning wiring, sensors, motors, circuits, and hardware control through small hands-on projects.
