Below are the modules where I’ve completed assignments and mini projects that I believe have equipped me with the necessary skills for work readiness.
Focus: Classes, objects, inheritance, encapsulation, polymorphism, and abstraction
What I Learned: I developed a solid foundation in object-oriented programming and software design, which helped me succeed in Data Structures and other coding modules.
Focus: Designing clean, user-friendly interfaces with good navigation, accessibility, and layout
What I Learned: I practiced building responsive and intuitive interfaces that are easy to use, focusing on both user experience and functionality.
Focus: A research-based module exploring threats, vulnerabilities, and security best practices
What I Learned: I deepened my understanding of security principles, encryption, access control, and how to identify and mitigate risks.
Focus: Requirements gathering, system modeling (UML), and project planning
What I Learned: I learned how to analyze problems, create solution models, and document system functionality using professional tools and methods.
Focus: Applied machine learning using libraries like PyLib
What I Learned: I built simple intelligent systems and gained hands-on experience with machine learning models, data preprocessing, and classification.
Focus: Data wrangling, visualization, and interpretation using tools like Excel and Python
What I Learned: I learned how to extract insights from raw data, create dashboards, and make data-driven decisions using graphs, charts, and analysis techniques.
Focus: Network design, protocols, IP addressing, and simulation using Cisco Packet Tracer
What I Learned: I gained practical skills in configuring routers, understanding how data travels, and how to troubleshoot network issues.
These are some of the group projects where I actively participated, contributing to both the design and technical development
Goal: To assist doctors in making more informed decisions by digitizing patient records and automating simple diagnostics.
What I Contributed: I helped design the interface and implemented key backend features using C# and a SQL Server database. We used Visual Studio and focused on functionality, usability, and workflow.
View Project on GitHubGoal: To simulate a working office network with devices, routers, switches, and internet access using Cisco Packet Tracer.
What I Contributed: I collaborated on IP addressing, routing, and simulating end-to-end communication. We tested connectivity, resolved packet flow issues, and documented the full topology.
