Projects
Project Hosting
In the second semester of the Skills Integration Lab course,
our team was assigned to host a real client's application using our own
infrastructure. The goal was to provide a secure, scalable environment for
web deployment and continuous updates.
We set up a Kubernetes cluster to manage deployments and applied several CIS
security controls. I was primarily responsible for configuring the
Kubernetes cluster for high availability and proper container orchestration.
I also worked on implementing
security features like network segmentation and access control.
This project gave me hands-on experience with container orchestration,
infrastructure security and DevOps practices. It taught me new things in a
lot of different aspects in hosting environments.
Containerized App in the Cloud using IaC
For the Cloud Platforms course, I completed a solo project
focused on deploying a containerized web application to Azure using
Infrastructure as Code. The goal was to gain hands-on experience with
real-world cloud deployment techniques, security, and automation.
I designed and implemented the entire infrastructure using Bicep templates.
This included setting up two Azure Container Instances inside a secured
virtual network, pulling container images from a private Azure Container
Registry, and configuring secure registry access with authentication tokens.
I also troubleshooted issues around private networking and image pulling.
This project taught me how to translate infrastructure requirements into
code, deploy and manage container-based workloads in Azure, and apply cloud
security best practices in a production-like environment.
Locker System Proof of Concept
For the Skills Integration Lab course, we were tasked with
developing a Proof of Concept for a smart locker system. The client, who
owns a small webshop, needed a solution that allowed customers to pick up
orders securely without requiring our client to be at home.
Together with my team, we built a working prototype consisting of a
connected smart locker and an admin dashboard. I was primarily responsible
for designing and developing the dashboard interface and implementing some
key features.
This project helped me understand how to combine hardware and software, how
to communicate with microcontrollers from a web app, and how to design
a user-friendly and secure application that interacts with physical
devices like our OrangePi.
Interactive History Learning App
For the Professional Skills 1 course during my first year,
we worked in a group to develop an interactive learning platform to make the
subject of History more engaging for students. The challenge was to create a
playful experience that motivates users to explore historical content.
We built a digital escape room where users solve quizzes and puzzles to
unlock new historical periods. I contributed by designing and implementing
the backend logic for validating codes and managing level progression. I
also helped design user interaction flows to make the game intuitive and
rewarding.
This project taught me how to turn educational goals into a digital
experience, how to balance fun with structure, and how to collaborate
effectively in a team on a multidisciplinary concept.
B-fresh Website Development
This was a self-initiated project for B-fresh, a student
startup from an International Business program. Their mission is to offer
eco-friendly cleaning tablets in a fun and simple way, and they needed a
professional website to tell their story.
I managed the entire process creating the layout to building the website in
Webflow, making it responsive for all
devices, and aligning the design with their brand identity. I maintained
regular feedback loops with the founders to ensure their message came
through clearly.
Through this experience, I improved my frontend development and UX/UI design
skills and learned how to translate a client's vision into a working
product.
Achievements
LPI Linux Essentials Certificate
In my first year, I earned the LPI Linux Essentials certificate, validating my foundational knowledge of Linux systems, command-line usage, and open-source concepts. This certification strengthened my understanding of one of the most important operating systems in IT and cybersecurity environments.
CCNA: Switching, Routing, and Wireless Essentials (Credly Badge)
During my second year, I successfully completed the "Switching, Routing, and Wireless Essentials" exam, part of the CCNA certification track. This achievement shows my skills in managing small to medium-sized networks, configuring routers and switches, and understanding wireless networking basics.
