Cybersecurity Intern

Focused on securing learning servers by writing input sanitization that blocked 95% of malicious traffic. Partnered with frontend devs to tighten up client-side security and data validation. Got hands-on with penetration testing and ran vulnerability assessments across 10+ web apps, which is what really got me into the security side of things.
