CyberSecurity Student | Former Fullstack Developer

I’m a former full stack developer turned cybersecurity student with a strong foundation in software engineering and system design. I began my career at OneReach.AI in 2022, where I improved backend efficiency and frontend performance for clients like McGraw Hill and Athena Health using Node.js, PostgreSQL, and Vue.js.

Now, I’m building on that technical background by pursuing a degree in cybersecurity at Maryville University, with about a year and a half left of school. My focus is shifting toward creating secure systems and hands-on cybersecurity projects that combine my development experience with modern security practices.

I’m passionate about understanding how applications, networks, and data can be both built and protected—and I’m excited to continue bridging the gap between software development and cybersecurity.

Projects

Rest API built with Go

This is an API built using Go and SQLite3. I wanted to build a backend project using something different from Node.js and I really liked using Go previously for the Monkey Interpreter.

Libraries Used

• Gin library which was very helpful for HTTP request routing.

• jwt-go for Auth tokens in requests to verify users.

• bcrypt for encrypting and decrypting passwords stored in the SQL DataBase.

• go-sqlite3 for running the SQL server.

GET Requests

api/events

• Get a list of available events

api/events/21

• Get a specific event based on ID
